 as near as I can tell the same problem exists.  The basic issue is this:
 
 libtool creates tags which are stored in ${prefix}/bin/libtool and they 
 are based on the compiler characteristics in the compiler used to build 
 libtool.  This means if you ever try to switch from say f2c-f77 for your 
 fortran compiler to gfortran, you'll have a bad libtool and you end up 
 having to rebuild everything.
