also I've just edited the configure script and removed the --no-reexec
option from the libtool line... and seems to work fine for me.
I've done that with all sorts of apps that say that when running
configure. I have libtool-1.2a and I get that as an unrecognized option.
With 1.0h I didnt though.  From the looks of it, the removed that option.
since 1.0h...
