Looks like libtool is objecting to a patch-level mismatch in hte R
sources (and I'm surprised that such minor mismatches are not
allowed). You should be able to solve this by using a current
R-patched (>=r48719), or just updating tools/ltmain.sh from
https://svn.r-project.org/R/branches/R-2-9-branch/tools/ltmain.sh and
re-configuring and re-making R.
Looks like this has been mismatching for a while, so perhaps no one
uses R CMD LINK.

I'm trying to build an executable for a program I wrote. The
compilation steps go well, but the linking step fails with a libtool
"version mismatch" error. My linking command has this prefix:
/path/to/R/bin/R CMD LINK gcc -g -std=gnu99 ... etc.
The error looks like this:
libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2
libtool: and run autoconf again.
I have no idea what this error message is referring to. The version
of libtool installed on the system is none of the ones mentioned in
this error:
% libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-4 (1.1220.2.365
2005/12/18 22:14:06)
<FSF disclaimer>
The libtool in the R directory has version 2.2:
% /path/to/R/bin/libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 2.2

Strangely enough, this same libtool script has the following lines in
its source code:
# Which release of libtool.m4 was used?
macro_version=2.2.6
macro_revision=1.3012
I don't know what to make of this.
Be that as it may, does anyone know how I could get past this sticking point?
TIA!

P.S. I should point out that the R I'm using is one that I just
compiled so that I could run R under valgrind. Here's the ./configure
command I used before running make:
% ./configure --prefix=/path/to/R --enable-R-shlib --enable-BLAS-shlib
--with-valgrind-instrumentation=2
