By passing --tag=CC to libtool invocations.  You can probably edit the
Makefile(s), or inputs from this project, or simply rerun configure with
something like
  ./configure LIBTOOL='/usr/bin/libtool --tag=CC'

if the project uses only C code, and if it uses the $LIBTOOL variable
for this.

Please report upstream (to the attr developers) that --tag should be
used for compilation and linking.

Cheers,
Ralf
