Don't forget that the host shell expands one set of quotes, so the
application (c++ in this case) will only see -DMY_STRING=FOO.

You should escape the quotes to make sure that your shell doesn't strip them
before libtool can see the resulting line:
libtool ... c++ -DMY_STRING=\"FOO\" ...
Take a look at libtool/tests/quote.test to see what I mean.
Cheers,
Gary.
