This looks more like a libtool bug to me, contact the libtool maintainers
at libtool@gnu.org. The workaround is to create the library by hand:
copy-n-paste the link line (gcc -shared ...) and add the extra -mabi=64
flag. Another (easier) workaround that *might* work is: 
LDFLAGS="-mabi=64 -Wl,-64".


Hope this helps,
Erik
