This means that you have generated libtool using a shell that understands XSI 
extensions,
such as bash, so it has made some optimisations based on that, but then you are 
letting
make execute libtool with a shell that doesn't understand those optimisations - 
such as
/bin/sh.

Make sure that if you point configure at a better shell (by setting SHELL or 
CONFIG_SHELL
in your environment for example), that you also tell make to use the same shell 
(by calling
make with SHELL=/bin/bash for example).

If your environment is clean, and you are not accidentally or deliberately 
manipulating
the execution shell, then you have found a genuine bug.  We'll need to know all 
of the
details about your environment, including the actual command lines you used to 
call
configure and then make.

The README in your libtool distribution explains more about some of the 
information
required when reporting a bug, or you can get there directly by running 
'./libtool --help'.
