I have this error in a case where even the above did not fix it.
IIRC, this arose when I upgraded gcc AND did a `svn update` that
removed libraries.  Somehow, the libtool-generated files were not
removed and the configure/distclean cycle either wouldn't remove them
or wouldn't complete.  I don't recall which.

This may be a bug in libtool or automake.  If it happens again, I'll
pay closer attention.  For now, I'd recommend that you follow any
gcc upgrade with configure/distclean *before* `svn update`.
