Invoking libtool manually with:

-----
shell% /bin/bash ./libtool --mode=link CC <FLAGS> -o liblibtool_test.la -rpath 
/usr/local/lib foo.lo bar.lo
-----

and substituting in various things for <FLAGS>, I can't seem to get
anything passed down to the actual linker command line that works --
libtool strips them all out.  Partial list of things that I've tried:

  -xarch=v9
  -z -xarch=v9
  -64

"-Wl,-xarch=v9" does get passed down, but CC doesn't recognize -Wl (-Wl is
apparently an option for cc, not CC).

Is there any other way to pass things down magically to libtool's
invocation line?

Understood.
