Looking at http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/tree/m4/libtool.m4 
the problem still seems present. Since then, several new ways of getting 
an incompatible ABI have appeared, the most important one being 
-std=c++11. Any -std=c++XX will give a gnu abi, as will -compat=g.

If you don't want to maintain complicated volatile conditions, it would be 
simpler to remove the whole block of code that tries to add -library=Cstd 
-library=Crun. It is easier for users to add -library=Cstd if they need it 
than remove it when it breaks things.
