On our redhat server, installing libtool places config.guess
in a different location that on my debian box. Everywhere
  /usr/share/libtool/build-aux/whatever
is mentioned in lmi's build system, redhat uses
  /usr/share/libtool/config/whatever
instead.

For now at least, I've just modified it by hand on the redhat box.
