All of the above, and the information in the referenced bugzilla,
still leave me scratching my head.  I cannot tell whether this is a
bug in Libtool, a bug in some package that uses or modifies Libtool
code, and I cannot tell whether lib-link.m4 (from gnulib/gettext?)
has a bug or conflict with Libtool 2.2.x.

One way to shed light that is often good is to provide a recipe to
reproduce the problem, including how to build the packages involved.
Please take into account that I don't have gstreamer development
tools installed, nor know know openembedded.  I do have a Debian
lenny available, and (a pointer to) instructions on how to get the
corresponding sources and build them would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Ralf
