So this is not the same as the bug Ralf found, as he observed that  
lt_libobj_prefix was not
set, whereas you have it correctly set to "ltdl/".

Does ltdl_LTLIBOBJS in your Makefile also contain the correct value?

  $ grep ltdl_LTLIBOBJS Makefile
  ltdl_LTLIBOBJS =  ltdl/argz.lo

Same as me.

It was indeed tiny, and attached to my reply to Ralfs GraphicsMagick  
report.  I'm reattaching
here too...

Aha! I get the same error if I undo that patch in my GraphicsMagick  
working copy,
run bootstrap with libtoolize (2.1b).  I'll see if I can figure out  
why I get this:

  $ grep argz.lo Makefile
  ltdl_LTLIBOBJS =  argz.lo

Instead of this:

  $ grep argz.lo Makefile
  ltdl_LTLIBOBJS =  ltdl/argz.lo

In the mean time, you can work around it by applying the attached  
patch to GraphicsMagick.

He did, and I made sure that it worked on my machine before I rolled  
the release.  Ralf and I
concluded that something broke when he manually applied my patches  
after they were mangled
by my MTA.

Cheers,
