 Hello again,

 I'm awfully sorry, it looks like this problem was also related to my hack
with using autoconf 2.61 instead of 2.62. After setting ECHO properly (and
also defining lt_unset as "unset", which would have probably also been done
correctly if I used 2.62) things seem to work correctly.

 FWIW the problem is real for libtool 1.5.22 which is the latest version
available as a package for SunOS as it incorrectly links 64 bit programs
with 32 bit libstdc++ and it could be nice to know if there is any
workaround for this to avoid installing latest libtool from source but I
realize that libtool 1.5.22 is probably too old to encourage much interest
in solving the problem there.

 Sorry once again for a false alarm,
VZ
