Yes, but is this a VPATH build on a completely different type of OS, 
or is it just a VPATH build on the same OS?  The VPATH build on the 
same OS works for me just fine.  A VPATH build on a completely 
different sort of OS (i.e. considerably more difference than between 
Brand A and Brand B of Linux) does not.  This is why I am suspecting 
that 'bootstrap' is somehow introducing some configuration/dependency 
for/on the OS where bootstrap was executed.  I recall that this also 
happened several years ago, but you fixed that ...

The libtool code was checked out from CVS and then bootstrap was 
executed.  There has been no configuring/building done from within the 
source tree.

It is possible that there is some other problem since things were 
working much better before I installed the latest m4, autoconf, and 
automake, on the two problem hosts.
