  It might be an automake bug because libtool is interested in
determining the proper binary file name extensions, and the "AM_"
prefix suggests that setting up libtool is automake's job.  The
AM_PROG_LIBTOOL may be getting confused when the language context
isn't the default "C" but "C++" environment instead.

  I was just proferring a guess.

  Autoconf version 2.13

  automake (GNU automake) 1.4

  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4 (1.920 2001/04/24 23:26:18)

  All this on a RH 6.1 (Cartman) machine with gcc version 2.95.2.

Cheers!
