Just FYI, my main development machine is Ubuntu 6.10.  I have never had
this issue with libtool/rpath that you describe.  I have the default
build installed which does indeed have the /bin/sh -> /bin/dash symlink.
So there is something else going on here.

In this particular case, I believe that the specific mblock build
failure that was seen was a problem with the Makefile.am that was fixed
on the trunk yesterday evening.  I'm still waiting confirmation of a fix
or not.

Again, there must be something else going on as neither of these are a
problem for me.
