I am having the same problem, and I'm trying to fix it. And I'm sure I can
fix it. 

But I am getting fed up with autotools, and I'm looking at alternative
cross-platform build systems. I'm looking at boost jam, CMake, and SCons. I
am going to experiment with SCons first, because it promises to work on Mac
OS X, Linux, and Windows, and on Windows to use MSVC++ 7.1 which can be
downloaded for free. However it uses Python. Are you willing to contemplate
a build system that depends on Python? Python most definitely runs and
installs on all Linuxes, most Unixes, Windows, and Macs.

So something is still wrong

this is RH7.3, main system

I have downloaded and taken a brief look at SCons before.  I am actually
planning to adapt it to work on Mac OS 9 and use it as a core component in a
new MacOS front-end for Csound.  SCons would be used to automate dependency
analysis and "build" complicated Csound projects that involve multiple steps
(utility analyses, score generation, score processing, and/or multiple calls
to Csound).

So, I am fine with SCons.  I can probably even use it to build Csound on
MacOS 9.

Library names have to begin with the three characters "lib".  Both 
libtool and automake get very confused if this rule is violated.
