I checked the PA configure script for any more convenient way to specify the
libtool path (you know, like DBUS_CFLAGS and DBUS_LIBS for dbus), but it
seems you'll need to rely on more generic methods. libltdl is not hooked
into pkg-config, and configure can't override it normally. You could try to
set LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -L/usr/local/lib" or you could set
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib"

You could also take the "safe route" by installing it in /usr instead of
/usr/local -- which won't overwrite anything since you removed your old
libtool anyway.

HTH,

Sean
