RE: Build fails to build shared libraries (ITS#2331)

No good.  I upgraded libtool to 1.4.3, and still get the following:

checking if the linker (/usr/s390-suse-linux/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes
checking whether the linker (/usr/s390-suse-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output... ok
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking for /usr/s390-suse-linux/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r
checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no
checking whether to build static libraries... yes

It seems to be going wrong at "Checking dynamic linker characteristics", and "libtool supports shared libraries".  What are the criteria for those?

Here are the corresponding lines from the 2.0.11 build:

checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU ld.so
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
