Well, I finally solved the problem. After another person on our team reported that 1.5.6 started working for them again after some configure.ac changes to our project (even though it still failed for me), I went out and grabbed Mandrake's src.rpm package and started going through the 12 patches they added to libtool 1.5.6.
It appears that the danger patch is: libtool-1.5.6-relink.patch, which
contains.

After I removed that patch from the build, rebuilt the rpm, and installed, I
can now get everything working with libtool. Sorry for the Red Herring here
folks, as this wasn't a true libtool issue, but a vendor patch instead.
I'm going to report the bug to Mandrake tomorrow, hopefully they'll remove
this patch from any future libtool releases.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
