$ gcc -m32 -print-multi-os-directory
../lib32

The $LIBDIR during the poppler  build was /usr/lib32, so this can't be
an autoconf / automake issue.

If libtool is using some variant of the above gcc command to determine
the correct -L option for the gcc libraries, WHY
isn't it using the FIRST value gcc emits ?

What  libtool  should be doing instead is using something like :

  -L$(cd ${LIBDIR:-/usr/lib}/$($CC $CFLAGS -print-multi-os-directory) ; pwd;)
