This hunk is wrong :-(

ltmain.in uses $shrext in a few places, and you have changed the _LT_DECL that
added a declaration in libtool.  Either use:

_LT_DECL([shrext_cmds], [shrext], [1], ...

or, preferably search and replace in ltmain.in too (I'd like to be able to
eliminate the first argument from _LT_DECL so that variables have the same
name in libtool.m4 and the generated libtool script).

Looks like you have SHELL set to tcsh!?!

Cheers,
