I just updated one of my systems to libtool 1.5.6, ran libtoolize to ensure
that the support files in my conftools/ subdirectory were updated, then
executed autoheader, autoconf, 'make distclean' and ./configure to bring
everything back to square one.  Unfortunately, the problem still exists (and
is identical).

This problem of /.libs/.libs/ showing up on the link line seems to date back
to 2000, at least according to Google.  In many cases it was dismissed as
someone adding -L./.libs or something to the link command, or otherwise
manually futzing with the libtool commands.  I'm not doing that here.

I tried looking through the libtool script and, frankly, I needed to lay
down afterwards.  That made my head hurt.
