I've attached a patch against libltdl/acinclude.m4 and put up an updated
distribution of kaffe on http://www.kaffe.org/~robilad/kaffe-1.1.0-dt-1.tar.gz
 beside the libtool patch, it includes my fopen patches as well.

could you give it a try and see if that one works better?

libtool 1.5 introduced this bit of sillyness. See the thread at
http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2003-06/msg00006.html for a patch to
libtool ... I'll wait util it all calms down, and update our libtool
accordingly.

cheers,
