In answer to my own issue, moving AC_ENABLE_SHARED and
AC_ENABLE_STATIC to before AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE elminates the
problem:
#
# Configure libtool and ltdl
#
AC_ENABLE_SHARED(no)
AC_ENABLE_STATIC(yes)
AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
# Substitute INCLTDL and LIBLTDL in the Makefiles
AC_SUBST(INCLTDL)
AC_SUBST(LIBLTDL)
# Check for dlopen support
AC_LIBTOOL_DLOPEN
AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP
AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
works.
