We introduced a wrapper around libtool - see the 'mylibtool' script.
I reckon there's a non-zero chance that it is broken with Ubuntu
because they change /bin/sh to use 'dash' instead of 'bash'. You
might try editting 'mylibtool' and changing the first line to explicitly
call bash and see if it then works
