I haven't investigated this problem that thorough, but on a
"powerpc-apple-darwin1.3.7" system (an iBook) I had to change the
$archive_cmds variable (in libtool.m4 for libtool 1.4.2 (serial 46))
from

archive_cmds='$nonopt $(test "x$module" = xyes && echo -bundle || echo 
-dynamiclib) $allow_undefined_flag -o $lib $libobjs $deplibs$linker_flags 
-install_name $rpath/$soname $verstring'

to

archive_cmds='$nonopt $(test x$module = xyes && echo -bundle || echo 
-dynamiclib) $allow_undefined_flag -o $lib $libobjs $linker_flags -install_name 
$rpath/$soname $verstring'

to get around a problem with the final linker line having duplicated the
list of convenience libraries.  $libobjs contained both the .los and .las,
and $deplibs contained all the .las, so the link stopped with duplicate
symbol errors.  I also had to remove the "s to get around a weird quoting
problem.

Is this a known issue?  A local problem?  libtool is used in combination
with Autoconf 2.52 and Automake 1.5.
