Hello,
(I don't know whether this should have been sent to the dev-list, but
the last time this error occured, it was posted to the users-list, so
I'm doing it too.)
The last days I had problems compiling OpenMPI on a Debian and a SuSE
Linux.
The bug had been already reported in 2007.
http://www.open-mpi.org/community/lists/users/2007/06/3353.php
and results in the following output when running make:
...
depbase=`echo asm.lo | sed 's|[^/]*$|.deps/&|;s|\.lo$||'`;\
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I.

However there had been no solution at that time.
A colleague of mine (J. Doleschal) came up with the idea to use another
libtool.
There are multiple libtool's after starting configure
$ find ./ -name libtool
./ompi/mca/io/romio/romio/libtool
./ompi/contrib/vt/vt/extlib/otf/libtool
./opal/libltdl/libtool
./libtool
The libtool created in the compiling directory has a bug, but other
libtools are working without problems even though they have the same
version.
So, our first (not final) solution was:
$ rm ./libtool
$ ln -s ./opal/libltdl/libtool ./libtool
Even though it seems to be enough, this solution might not be optimal.
So we took a deeper look into ./libtool and found, that the problem lied
in the term "$echo". If "$ECHO" is used instead, the make process
finishes fine.
E.g. line 847
-*=*) optarg=`$echo "X$arg" | $Xsed -e 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'` ;;
should be
-*=*) optarg=`$ECHO "X$arg" | $Xsed -e 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'` ;;
Another (and simpler) option would be to change line 162 from
ECHO=...
to
echo=...
as other libtool's are doing it (e.g. ./opal/libltdl/libtool)
