All of the above, and the information in the referenced bugzilla, still leave me scratching my head. I cannot tell whether this is a bug in Libtool, a bug in some package that uses or modifies Libtool code, and I cannot tell whether lib-link.m4 (from gnulib/gettext?) has a bug or conflict with Libtool 2.2.x. One way to shed light that is often good is to provide a recipe to reproduce the problem, including how to build the packages involved. Please take into account that I don't have gstreamer development tools installed, nor know know openembedded. I do have a Debian lenny available, and (a pointer to) instructions on how to get the corresponding sources and build them would be appreciated.
