Thanks a lot for your report and findings.

While I certainly would like to see any problems with curl and curl's files
to be fixed and working for as many platforms as possible, this is problem we
don't want to fix this way. This seems to be a libtool issue (bug?). I would
appriciate it a lot if you would report this problem to the libtool guys.
bug-libtool_at_gnu.org is their email address.

The configure script is generated from configure.in with the autoconf tool.
Our configure.in file we use the AM_PROG_LIBTOOL macro and judgding from the
code in the configure script that uses this faulty sequence:

... it mentions libtool in several comments and thus, this should be fixed
there. If they consider it a bug.

I tried to search for this bug among the already reported libtool bugs, but
couldn't even find a search form! :-/
