Libtool is fucked, basically. 

That's why so many Red Hat spec files have this at the top:

 %define __libtoolize :

To keep the RPM macros from re-running libtoolize and ending up with a
broken libtool script that wants to relink things.

If the upstream package was created with a libtool that likes to
relink things, you have to patch ltmain.sh; thus all the Red Hat RPMs
containing a "fixed-ltmain.sh" file. The fix is essentially 
s/need_relink=yes/need_relink=no/g in ltmain.sh.

Relinking makes installing to a location other than the final
location, which is what an RPM requires, into an impossibility. 

Relinking is not required on Linux so can just be turned off.
