I probably wasn't very clear... the libtool version which comes with
jhbuild should be ok since it contains the patch that fixes that bug:
the patch is not included in the original tarball, however it is
automatically applied by jhbuild before building libtool.

The patch can be found in the jhbuild/patches directory.


So what I would try is:
- make sure that jhbuild is up to date (cd jhbuild; cvs up)
- rebuild libtool with jhbuild, by running bootstrap: unfortunately
jhbuild pretends to be too smart and doesn't seem to want to rebuild
libtool (it just exits sayng success)... you have two way to work around
this: the first is applying the patches by hand and rebuild libtool
manually, the other is to edit jhbuild/jhbuild/modtypes/tarball.py
commenting out (add a # at the beginning of the line) lines 105 and 106
in the function do_start.

Hope that helps
