[plt-scheme] can't configure since new libtool (1.3 -> 1.5)

I'm puzzled, because the uses of libtool in plt/src are supposed to be
self-contained.

There are two uses (and two copies) of libtool in plt/src: one for
--enable-shared in general, and one for libffi. If I'm reading
correctly, the one for --enable-shared worked fine, and the one for
libffi failed.

Eric's log doesn't show me one detail that I'm interested in, which is
the command line generated by line 4154 of
plt/src/foreign/gcc/libffi/configure. Is it really running the ltconfig
in plt/src/foreign/gcc? If so, why is it affected by another libtool
installation? Or am I looking in the wrong place?

Thanks,
Matthew
