libtool-1.5.4 problem compiling xfsprogs

[Post, Mark K]

I upgraded libtool to 1.5.4 yesterday, and then today when I tried to build
the newer version of xfsprogs, I get this error:
# make
=== include ===
rm -f attr
ln -s . attr
=== libmisc ===
/usr/bin/libtool --mode=compile gcc -g -DDEBUG -funsigned-char -Wall
-I../include -DVERSION=\"2.4.15\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\"
-DPACKAGE=\"attr\" -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64   -D_REENTRANT
-fno-strict-aliasing -c quote.c
libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration
libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag'
make[1]: *** [quote.lo] Error 1
make: *** [default] Error 2


>From what I can tell, libtool should only to try to infer something when
--mode= is not specified.  Is that correct?

Please let me know what information you need to help me debug this problem.
