Libtool should be applying the options you specified on the command 
line.  For example, if you specified -m64 while compiling, it should 
apply -m64 while building all objects.  So no 32-bit objects should 
exist in the build tree.  Where are the 32-bit objects coming from?

I have not been having any 64-bit problems specifically due to 
libtool, but I must admit to using a development version of libtool 
for quite some time.

One thing that can bite is if a .la file for a 32-bit library is 
picked up my mistake, then the associated 32-bit library may be 
applied.  This is usually a problem with user-specified library search 
paths, although some versions of libtool have been known to re-order 
library search paths, causing dire problems.
