Using the following patch to link.test, and running the test in verbose 
mode:

-echo "$linkresult"
+echo "$linkresult" | sed -e 's/^/[/g' -e 's/$/]/g'

I get the following output

make[3]: Entering directory 
`/usr/src/libtool/devel/CVS/libtool-b2.0/.build/tests'
link.test: ===  Running link.test
[gcc -o .libs/gettext  ../lib/libnlsut.a]
[libtool: link: creating gettext.exe]
link.test: link.test: ../lib/libnlsut.a was not used as expected in linking
FAIL: link.test


So,
1. [gcc -o .libs/gettext  ../lib/libnlsut.a]
2. [libtool: link: creating gettext.exe]

Me neither.  Try THIS, instead

#!/bin/sh

linkresult="gcc -o .libs/gettext ../lib/libnlsut.a
libtool: link: creating gettext.exe"

echo $linkresult

case "$linkresult" in
*../lib/libnlsut.a) ;;
*) echo fail ;;
esac

The problem is,  the check is trying to ensure that $linkresult ENDS 
WITH "../lib/libnlsut.a".  But, in my case, it doesn't -- but the first 
line does.  I don't know why "\nlibtool: link: creating gettext.exe" is 
getting in there now, but didn't before.
