lib/Makefile runs this line:

../libtool --mode=link gcc getopt.lo getopt1.lo md5.lo -o liblib.a

which produces the incorrect output. using the system libtool instead:

libtool --mode=link gcc getopt.lo getopt1.lo md5.lo -o liblib.a

gives:

ar cru liblib.a  .libs/getopt.o .libs/getopt1.o .libs/md5.o
ranlib liblib.a

indicating that it correctly read the .lo files. the weird thing, is
that this seems to happen even with older copies of configure, and
ltmain.sh has not been changed in 2 years?

help?
