The error is your setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if you want the old behaviour back 
because you cannot get rid of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, consider adding

-Wl,--disable-new-dtags

to LDFLAGS. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH as some "permanent" solution is always an 
error waiting to happen and indicative of something that went wrong beforehand.

I repeat: don't set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that's the real problem, libtool not 
working for you is just a symptom of that.
