We have this problem with our package ogle as well. Libtool 1.4 allowed
this, but didn't do it correctly. I haven't tried libtool 1.4.2 yet.

See my mail to this list:

This seems to be the problem we have too.

No, I have not found a solution to this problem. Our current approach
when building RPMS is to build the package twice, the second time with
the package partially installed. Not very good.
