This has been reported to the list a few times.  It's basically a
problem with libtool 1.4.  There is a patch available to help this, but
unfortunately it breaks the compile of things like conduits.  I have no
idea why libtool 1.4 needs to do things this way, or if there is any
other solution.  But I sure wish that it would get fixed either way,
because it makes compile times several times longer than they need to
be.
