This failure:
| /home/bfriesen/src/gnu/libtool-head/tests/old-m4-iface.at:142: $MAKE
| stderr:
| main.o(.text+0xc): In function `main':
| : undefined reference to `lt_preloaded_symbols'

indicates that an old ltdl.h was used.  It seems @INCLTDL@ was
substituted wrongly in that Makefile.  I don't see how that can
happen.
