More importantly, during autogen.sh (more precisely: during ./configure), I 
got the output

checking host system type... i686-suse-linux

And this seems to disturb configure's assumptions about the dynamic linker. 
Following dave_p's proposal about the usual system type i686-pc-linux-gnu, I 
ran configure with 

- --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu

after I did a "rm libtool". Then the configure checks from above did the 
"RIGHT THING (tm)", and all the linking errors were gone.

Maybe SuSE adapted their hostsystem output between those versions.
