For quite a few years now, Automake has provided the --tag= option 
automatically.  The --tag option tells libtool which language tool (C, 
C++, Fortran) is currently in use so the correct options are used. 
Otherwise it would have to guess based on the name of the tool and 
guessing is hard.  Is Apache using Automake?
