Hi Seth,
The libtool that is included in the jpeg-6b package is really really
old. If you want to build it shared, why not look at the patches that
others use to build jpeg on OS X.
http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/browser/trunk/dports/graphics/jpeg/files
or the http://www.finkproject.org patches (they are probably very
similar).
The latest stable GNU libtool is 1.5.22, but they way that it works
means that you will often see older/different/patched versions appearing
in packages that you want to build.
This particular bug at least is fixed in current libtool :-)
Thanks for the report,
Peter
