I agree, on all accounts.

Can you work around it by using the Libtool 2.4 --with-sysroot feature?
Please report back if that doesn't help.

That might indeed be necessary; haven't checked in detail yet.

Thanks, also for providing a concise and detailed report, and sorry for
being totally out of time to look into it more ATM,
