Yes. The version of libtool used by FreeRADIUS is quite old. Unfortunately, I've tried to upgrade it multiple times without much success. libtool, libltdl, and configure are incestuously related in bizarre ways. It's annoying, frustrating, and borderline incompetent.
P.S. I'm actually fixing bug in ltmain.sh v1.5.22, and I suspect that the hardcode_libdir_flag_spec_ld problem is already fixed in newer versions of ltmain.sh. 1.5.22 is pretty old (2005/12/18).
Exactly. I'm loath to upgrade libtool && libltdl. The code in the "master" branch (what will be 3.0) has a number of changes to the build system. It now can build without libtool or libltdl. The result is a build that is faster, simpler, and much better. Alan DeKok.
