Ah... so good to know that it's not just my own problem. Even
librep 0.14 fail to build. Anyway, an interesting observation:
it doesn't fail to compile if libtool-1.4-6mdk is used (from Mdk 8.1).
Another observation: libtool is adding extra double quotes to file names
and options to rep (something like '"--batch"') so that rep interprets
the should-be options as file names, hence the failure.
Not sure if the attached patch is the correct fix, but it seems to work
fine for me...
