It appears that your libtool script is not being generated properly:

~  $ egrep -e '^SED=' -e '^max_cmd_len=' +build/libtool
~  SED="/bin/sed"
~  max_cmd_len=32768
~  max_cmd_len=32768
~  max_cmd_len=32768
~  max_cmd_len=32768
~  max_cmd_len=32768

LT_AC_PROG_SED is responsible for finding a working sed program and storing it
in SED, and AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_MAX_CMD_LEN is responsible for finding the longest
command line the shell will accept without truncation and saving the value in
max_cmd_len.

Is everything being stored in config.status correctly?  Try looking at
config.log and see if any of the tests I mentioned above fail...

Cheers,
        Gary.
