Hello Nick,

Thanks for the report.

I suppose that error persisted when you used the latest libtool?
(It's not clear to me from the report which version you used first,
and whether you re-tried with current libtool).

Anyway, for the test failures please post the output of
  ./libtool --tag=FC --config
  env TESTS="tests/fcdemo-static.test tests/fcdemo-make.test \
             tests/fcdemo-exec.test tests/fcdemo-conf.test \
             tests/fcdemo-make.test tests/fcdemo-exec.test \
             tests/fcdemo-shared.test tests/fcdemo-make.test \
             tests/fcdemo-exec.test"  make -e check VERBOSE=yes

Also, it would be good to know what system you're using, what
distribution if any (including version), and the output of
  ls -ld /lib* /usr/lib*

Thanks,
Ralf
