Above is not libtool defect. It is failure in gcj package - the file ecj.jar . 
Also see gcc issue 42143.
It fail with ecj version v4.5 , downgrade to 4.3 shoud resolve issue for gcj  
before 4.8.

I don't know work around for 4.8x where new error is raised :
-----

.../bin/ld: use the --help option for usage information

May be best solution is libtool to disable GCJ tests by default. It seems to me 
gnu java does not work for all 4.* versions.

This is reasons to test libtool with environment variable GCJ set to no.
