Actually I was calling AC_LIBTOOL_CXX from configure.in,
the documentation seems to suggest that I should:
... To enable C++
support in libtool, use the `AC_LIBTOOL_CXX' macro in your
`configure.in' file.
I commented out that call, but it didn't help. What did
fix the problem was to put AC_PROG_CXX *before* the call
to AC_PROG_LIBTOOL. According to this comment in libtool.m4
it should not matter:
dnl If AC_PROG_CXX has already been expanded, run AC_LIBTOOL_CXX
dnl immediately, otherwise, hook it in at the end of AC_PROG_CXX.
But it will only work if PROG_CXX is called first. From reading the
config.log before and after, it is apparent that the C++ configuration
is not done unless AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is called after.
Alexandre: you wondered what version I'm using, it is up to date
with the repository (and was never more than a day from an update).

===================================================================
File: libtool.m4 Status: Up-to-date
Working revision: 1.71.2.33

I'm using GNU m4 version 1.4, and CVS versions of automake and autoconf.
Could it be that GNU m4 isn't hooking the macro in properly here?:
AC_DEFUN(AC_PROG_LIBTOOL,[AC_REQUIRE([_AC_PROG_LIBTOOL])
dnl If AC_PROG_CXX has already been expanded, run AC_LIBTOOL_CXX
dnl immediately, otherwise, hook it in at the end of AC_PROG_CXX.
AC_PROVIDE_IFELSE([AC_PROG_CXX],
[AC_LIBTOOL_CXX],
[define([AC_PROG_CXX], defn([AC_PROG_CXX])[AC_LIBTOOL_CXX
])])
I'm no M4 guru, but it looks right to me. Any ideas?
PS: I'd like to thank Alexandre and Ossama for helping me out
with this one, it certainly would have taken me much longer
to find this myself!
