Unfortunately I don't remember the details at the moment but I know that we ran
into a number of linking issues with C++ based programs if 
output_verbose_link_cmd
was left as is. Issues that our linker seemed to deal with just fine without 
libtool
trying to explicitly doing something. I'll see if I can dig up any clues.
