I am now convinced that this problem is caused by something that
libtool is doing. I have found that the most simple way to get
this error is to grab the CVS version of libtool and try to
build it using the CVS version of autoconf.
I really have no idea what libtool could be doing that
would cause it to generate these macros in the wrong
order. It seems to something unholy indeed.
The only other info I have is the ugly hack I used
to get around the problem. This is NOT a patch,
it is more of an example of how not to solve the problem :)
