I found the change you mentioned in the daily CVS snpashot ( 2.1a).  In
AIX, linker is expecting a temporary link file when there are large
number of object files need to be linked.  There seems to be an error in
the libtool.m4 where this variables are defined.  The following change
seems to be working fine.
4326c4326
<       _LT_TAGVAR(file_list_spec, $1)='${wl}-f,'
---
>       _LT_TAGVAR(file_list_spec, $1)='${wl}-f'

There shouldn't be a ',' after the -f

I also tried your current change in the 1.5.22 branch.  I found that
install with a DESTDIR works fine if I introduce the variable
hardcode_direct_absolute and change ltmain.sh as follows.
2744,2745c2744
<           if test "$hardcode_direct" = yes &&
<                       test "$hardcode_direct_absolute" = no ; then
---
>           if test "$hardcode_direct" = yes; then


Please let me know if these changes are correct.  Thanks for your help
