libtool translates -ldb-4.3 to /usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so, which breaks. "cc -ldb-4.3" uses /lib64/libdb-4.3.so.

Looks like the fix is to upgrade to libtool-1.5.24. Its NEWS says

• Search paths with GCC on multilib systems like x86_64 have been fixed.

I haven't checked how to upgrade, though. Tried to install a private libtool and run libtoolize, but it just said "You should update your `aclocal.m4' by running aclocal" even after I ran aclocal.

Strange. It all builds perfectly fine on my SuSE 9.2 x86_64 system. At this point it's getting rather monotonous pointing out how much RedHat gets wrong...
