Sorry that I was not of more help.  It does seem necessary to specify 
the linker path to 64-bit libraries on the system.  The fixes in 
libtool 2.2 seem to primarily be to assure that the correct compiler 
support and system libraries are used.  Libtool queries GCC for the 
built-in linker search path but unfortunately GCC does not adjust its 
reported path based on the -m64 option so libtool needs to do that.
