Another libtool problem with 64-bit build on a bi-arch system

[Maynard Johnson]

Hi, Peter,
I posted to this list last winter regarding some problems I was having 
integrating libtool into a project (the oprofile project) -- in particular, 
building 64-bit on a bi-arch system (IBM POWER5).  You helped with some usage 
problems and also provided a fix in libtool 1.5.26.  Now I'm trying to use 
libtool in another project and having what looks like the exact symptom I 
started out with in the oprofile project last winter.   Here are the details:

- libtool 1.5.26 installed in /usr/local
- removed existing aclocal.m4 in project root directory
- ran 'libtoolize --automake' and 'aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal' from 
project root directory (now see "# serial 52 AC_PROG_LIBTOOL" in aclocal.m4)
- run configure and make. The make fails as shown below:

On this ppc64 system I'm developing on, the 64-bit BFD library is located in 
/usr/lib64, but as you can see from above, the gcc command is specifying 
/usr/lib/libbfd.so, which is the 32-bit library.

Any idea what could be the problem?

Thanks much for the help.
