Libtool is not currently in a position to mandate anything.  The crux 
of the problem is that Autoconf executes compilation commands to 
perform tests, the results of what it found are (partially) cached in 
the Makefiles, and then re-played by the Makefiles to perform 
compilations.  As a result, the libtool command line must be similar 
to what Autoconf and the compiler accept.
