I just ran into the opposite of this problem yesterday.

The short answer: you're using a version of libtool that's pretty old.
This issue was fixed in 2006.  Upgrade your libtool, and the problem will
go away.

Now, libtool doesn't force either Cstd or Crun into the libraries, which
means that if you use

        -library=stlport4

as part of CXXFLAGS, you probably also need

        -library=Crun

since that won't automatically be added.  I personally think that libtool
should still be adding -lCrun automatically, as it does for -lc, since
-lCrun is compatible with stlport4, but since there's a workaround, it's
no big deal.
