Please show how you actually configured RPM, and the output of
configure.  Also please show
  ./libtool --version

Note that the current stable version is 1.5.20, and anything earlier
than 1.5.16 will have serious deficiencies with respect to $host_alias
prefixes.  So if RPM was libtoolized with an older version, you should
update that first (rerun 1.5.20 libtoolize and take care that it finds
the macros from 1.5.20 libtool.m4).

Still, unfortunately, cross compiling glitches may remain, but not the
one you are seeing now.

Cheers,
Ralf
