Can you try the patch below?  It's a completely untested backport of a
patch I prepared against Libtool CVS HEAD which solevs the problems for
me.  For a longer explanation, please see the two messages I sent on the
bug-libtool mailing list just this week, titled `failure of dlpreopen on
ia64/linux/gcc'.

I would be interested in any remaining testsuite failures including
verbose output of them.

        * libtool.m4 (AC_LIBTOOL_SYS_GLOBAL_SYMBOL_PIPE): The linker
        distinguishes data and code symbols on linux-gnu/ia64.  Fixes
        multiple testsuite failures.  Backport from 1.9c.
