Fixes are in CVS. I'd recommend to clean up the old build and make a
completely fresh start. At least you should run ./autogen.sh.

While the segfault was in libltdl, the issue itself was the way the
library was used. We really need to link to an installed libltdl, not
with the convenience library provided by libtool. So I've updated our
build to always use a system libltdl (which even speeds up the initial
configure) and had no problems with that since.

Should work both with libtool 1.5.x and 2.x (only tested with 2.2.6 on
Ubuntu and OSX) now.

If there are further problems with the build, please let me know!
