My crystal ball says that you have a Debian version of
libtool, specifically 1.5.22-4 (I think libltdl3-dev is the
exact offending package). If you update it to 1.5.24-1
everything (for small values of everything) will be fine
again.

If you don't like the idea of updating for some reason, try
this patch (it will very likely break when new libtool gets
pushed to your system):
