This rings a bell, but I can't find right now whether we've already
addressed this now.  Can you try git Libtool (or a nightly snapshot from
the web page) and if that still fails, show output of the --mode=install
command with --silent removed from the command line and --debug added as
first argument?

Thanks,
Ralf
