the following problems occured:

- without ./bootstrap, libtool-2.1 doesn't have
  config.guess/config.sub files, so I used
  "./configure --build=i586-pc-interix5.2".
  OTOH, libltdl/config has very old config.{sub,guess}, the same
  old version is in several tests, which therefore fail for me.

- libtool-1.5.23c/config.{guess,sub} is current,
  while libtool-1.5.23c/libltdl/config.{guess,sub} is outdated (as
  above), so I used "./configure --build=i586-pc-interix5.2"
  here, too. Maybe the files in libltdl should actually be symlinks to
  ../config.{guess,sub}, so when one updates these files later just
  before building in the root dir, these updates work as expected for
  the whole build.

- Not a problem, but a note: there is autoconf 2.61 available, but
  daily builds are done with 2.60.

The log is attached.

Sorry, you guessed right. I did accidentally not use GNU make on 
Interix 5.2. Now I have installed GNU make 3.81 there, too, and 
building and all tests done with it. Now for 1.5.23c, there is only 1 
failing test, the hardcode test.
