it's an old bug - you may want to use this ac-macro to fix it in your project:
http://ac-archive.sf.net/guidod/patch_libtool_on_darwin_zsh_overquoting.html

cvs libtool has a changelog entry that makes me assume that the zsh overquoting
problem has been solved somehow. (/bin/sh on darwin is usually a zsh) but I am
not that sure about it. Others have to comment on that. With the above patch
tagged into configure.in (after the libtool macros) makes the compilation 
process to just do what it is supposed to do - to create .so files. If you get
to create .dylib's then please tell me how it can be done, okay? TIA...
