Thanks.  I can reproduce this.  I haven't found the cause of it yet.
It might be that _LT_LANG_DEFAULT_CONFIG in libtool.m4 is buggy, or
that there is a thinko in its realization.

However, you should be able to work around this rather easily by adding
AC_PROG_CXX to configure.ac sometime early; i.e., before AC_PROG_LIBTOOL.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Ralf
