When you experience this issue, please go to the build directory
and type
  ./libtool --version

My guess is: this error is not from an 1.5.x release of Libtool
(they contain no reference to S_IXOTH), but from a CVS snapshot
where this bug lived for a while.  Tell the author to use a newer
CVS version/snapshot.  If you are writing the software yourself:
update Libtool and re-libtoolize your package with the newer version.

Cheers,
Ralf
