The lt_libltdl_LTX_preloaded_symbols symbol is supposed to be in an 
automatically
generated file, which isn't generated because configure does not recognize the
$NM output. Libtool wants BSD style output.

<hex address> <symbol type> <symbol name>

e.g.
00000118 T _foobar

Try to set NM to something that outputs lines as above when given object files
from your compiler.

BTW, does config.log provide any hint as to what went wrong in the above
configure test?

I will leave that part of the message for someone more capable.
