OK.  New set of questions, then.  :)

Nope, that's fine.

First, a note to your Makefile:

| ${LIB_A}:       ${OBJS_A}
|         libtool --mode=link ${CC} -o $@ $^ -static
| 
| # -rpath is mandatory, libtool --mode=install will fail otherwise.
| ${LIB_SO}:      ${OBJS_SO}
|         libtool --mode=link ${CC} -o $@ $^ -version-number ${VERSION} -rpath 
${DESTDIR}/usr/lib

You don't need both of these rules.  As the output from 1.4 shows, the
second one builds both static and shared libraries.
I would write like this (modulo naming):

| LIBTOOL = libtool
| 
| libfoo.la: $(OBJS_LA)
|         $(LIBTOOL) $(LIBTOOLFLAGS) --mode=link $(CC) -o $@ $^ -version-number 
${VERSION} -rpath /usr/lib

You should really omit $(DESTDIR) in -rpath here (but not in the install
rules)!

I'd also write

| clean:
|        $(LIBTOOL) --mode=clean /bin/rm $(OBJS_SO)

which should remove all your built objects

Now back to the problem: Show

$ libtool --config 
$ libtool --features

for both versions.  Next question might be that I'd like you to try
1.5.18, in order to prevent any known regressions from skewing what we
see here (unless it's obvious from above output what's happening here).
If you do build 1.5.18 yourself, show output of its configure run plus
config.log as well.

Regards,
Ralf
