Libtool 1.9b: make check gives 5 failures on i686-pc-linux-gnu

[Roberto Bagnara]

Here is the information identifying the test platform:

      host-triplet:     i686-pc-linux-gnu
      shell:            /bin/sh
      compiler:         gcc 3.4.1
      linker:           /usr/bin/ld (GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.3 20040415)
      libtool:          (GNU libtool) 1.9b
      automake:         automake (GNU automake) 1.9.1
      autoconf:         autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.59b

The failing tests are:

FAIL: sh.test
FAIL: depdemo-inst.test
FAIL: depdemo-inst.test
FAIL: depdemo-inst.test

Here are more details about the failing tests.  These have
been obtained by setting the environment variable VERBOSE
to yes):

$ sh.test

../config/ltmain.sh:373:        # also don't use non-portable "`\"foo\"`", so 
we have to do
nested quotes are dangerous

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
   /usr/local/distrib/libtool-1.9b/tests/_inst/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.

I hope this helps.
All the best,
