However, I found the following in the configure script:

       # Some compilers place space between "-{L,R}" and the path.

       # Remove the space.

       if test $p = "-L" ||

          test $p = "-R"; then

         prev=$p

         continue

       fi

That shell code is coming from libtool, presumably expanded from the LT_INIT macro. You might have better luck asking on libtool@gnu.org

Cheers,
