[Ltib] Problem building libxml++.spec

[Mike Goins]

I have been trying to build libxml++ (that I submitted, even) on
another machine but having trouble (yes, the same machine that had the
.rpmmacros issue).     libxml++.spec files are identical.   Happens
with both latest ltib and the Freescale version.   It seems that
libtool is picking up the native libxml2.so on the build machine.

Here is the call to libtool and subsequent g++ call that is successful:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CXX --mode=link g++  -g -O2   -o

Here is the same section failing on another machine:

As noted the argument to libtool "-lxml2"  is expanded to
"/usr/lib/libxml2.so" on the failed build.   Libtool diff'd turns
nothing up.  Out of ideas.
