Trouble building 1.3.4

[Geoff Kuenning <geoff cs hmc edu>]

OK, I admit that I don't know squat about libtool.

I tried to build sawfish 1.3.4 and got a complaint that
"/usr/lib/libgmp.la" didn't exist.  Since my distribution (openSUSE
11.0) doesn't seem to supply it even in the development packages, I
found a somewhat out-of-date copy on the Web, hacked it up, and
installed it in /usr/lib.

Now I'm getting:

/usr/local/libexec/rep/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libtool --mode=link gcc -export-dynamic  \

What the heck is gcc doing looking in /usr/lib/.libs?  There is a
libgmp.so in /usr/lib where it belongs.  What am I doing wrong?
