If you can help us figure this out, it will save us making the next release 
with the bug in it.

I recommend trying the test suite again after a `make maintainer-clean' and 
rebootstrapping the tree -- this sometimes fixes things for me.

Are you using CVS automake by any chance?  HEAD libtool has had a lot of 
testing with automake-1.4, perhaps there is a transitory bug in automake?  
Either way, an examination of Makefile,in might shed some light on the matter.

Cheers,
        Gary.
