cut isn't portable, use sed instead.  And you can't assume there won't
be a foo.bar.lo.ii.

We can't use perl either.  libtool must stick to a very small subset
of portable shell programming constructs.

Anyway, I don't think you need all of this stuff, as long as you're
willing to use the multi-language branch of libtool, that is the only
one that claims to support C++.  There's no renaming taking place any
more; PIC object files are created in .libs, and non-PIC ones in the
current directory, then the `.lo' is created as a text file assigning
values to certain variables, pretty much like libtool has long done
with `.la' files.  Please give it a try, and let us know whether you
still find any problems.
