Nothing's ever that easy, is it?  When I went to use this to re-build 
gnome-name-server et al. under gnome-libs-0.99.2/libgnorba, ../libtool still 
SEGV'd in the same area.  So I ended up having to add another one:

1630,1632d1628
< "
<         $echo >> $output "

Which means that the block of code starting at line 1602 of my generated libtool 
looks like:

----

        $echo > $output "\
#! /bin/sh

# $output - temporary wrapper script for $objdir/$output
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU $PACKAGE $VERSION
#
# The $output program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool
# libraries that it depends on are installed.
#
# This wrapper script should never be moved out of \``pwd`'.
# If it is, it will not operate correctly.

# Sed substitution that helps us do robust quoting.  It backslashifies
# metacharacters that are still active within double-quoted strings.
Xsed='sed -e s/^X//'
sed_quote_subst='$sed_quote_subst'

# The HP-UX ksh and POSIX shell print the target directory to stdout
# if CDPATH is set.
if test \"\${CDPATH+set}\" = set; then CDPATH=; export CDPATH; fi
"
echo 1
        $echo >> $output "

# This environment variable determines our operation mode.
if test \"\$libtool_install_magic\" = \"$magic\"; then
  # install mode needs the following variables:
"
echo 2
        $echo >> $output "
  link_against_libtool_libs='$link_against_libtool_libs'
  finalize_command=\"$finalize_command\"
else

"

echo 3

        $echo >> $output "\
  # When we are sourced in execute mode, \$file and \$echo are already set.
  
----

Note the echo #'s to tell me where it broke.  This works, and along with 
configuring GTK/GLIB with --disable-xim, I now have a working panel on Solaris 
2.6 thru 8 again.

I just don't understand why the fixes I made to libtool made a blind bit of 
difference =O(  I hope someone out there does, and can fix the libtool in the 
distribution?

Ta,
