As a workaround, I use this in my configure script.  The default is 
then silent:

# Enable verbose output from libtool (enable libtool's default)
AC_ARG_ENABLE(libtool-verbose,
              [  --enable-libtool-verbose enable verbose libtool output 
(default disabled)],
              [with_libtool_verbose=$enableval],
              [with_libtool_verbose='no'])
if test "$with_libtool_verbose" = 'no'
then
  LIBTOOL="$LIBTOOL --silent"
fi
