Well, it works with Libtool 2.2 on blade, I just tried.  :-)

Not completely, mind you, but at least there are no test failures with
  configure -C CC=gcc CXX=g++ F77=f77 FC=f90

After f{77,c}demo-{conf,shared}.test, the build fails due to
unreferenced symbols, roughly like this:

libtool: link: f90 -G -z defs -h libmix.so.0 -o .libs/libmix.so.0.0.0  
.libs/foof.o .libs/foof2.o .libs/fooc.o
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
puts                                .libs/fooc.o
__f90_slw_ch                        .libs/foof.o
__f90_sslw                          .libs/foof.o
__f90_eslw                          .libs/foof.o

which can be worked around by not using -no-undefined, or probably fixed
by fixing the extraction of all the Fortran support libraries from the
verbose link output.  Nothing terribly bad, and the above issues only
cause SKIPs in the testsuite.
