Why does this shell prompt differ from the previous one?

The libtool(1) utility that comes with the LDM distribution does this on my 
system:

Making install in pqutil
...
/bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=c99 -g -O0   -o pqutil 
pqutil.o ../lib/libldm.la -lxml2 -lpng -lz -lrt -lm -lpthread 
libtool: link: gcc -std=c99 -g -O0 -o .libs/pqutil pqutil.o  
../lib/.libs/libldm.so -lxml2 -lpng -lz -lrt -lm -lpthread -Wl,-rpath 
-Wl,/home/steve/Projects/ldm/lib
...
/bin/sh ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c pqutil 
'/home/steve/Projects/ldm/bin'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c .libs/pqutil 
/home/steve/Projects/ldm/bin/pqutil

Note that the last line installs ".libs/pqutil", which is a binary executable.

On your system, however, the same libtool(1) utility does this, according to 
the file "make.log":

Making install in pqutil
...
/bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -std=c99 -g -O2   -o pqutil 
pqutil.o ../lib/libldm.la -lxml2 -lz -lrt -lm -lpthread 
libtool: link: gcc -std=c99 -g -O2 -o .libs/pqutil pqutil.o  
../lib/.libs/libldm.so -lxml2 -lz -lrt -lm -lpthread -Wl,-rpath 
-Wl,/home/ldm/ldm-6.13.16/lib
...
/bin/mkdir -p '/home/ldm/ldm-6.13.16/bin'
/bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c pqutil 
'/home/ldm/ldm-6.13.16/bin'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c pqutil /home/ldm/ldm-6.13.16/bin/pqutil

Note that the last line installs "pqutil", which is the libtool(1) wrapper 
script -- even though the binary executable was correctly built.

This shouldn't happen and I don't know why it does.

Could an environment variable be changing the behavior of the libtool(1) 
utility?

Googling this problem led to the workaround of changing the libtool(1) variable 
"fast_install" from "no" to "needless" (after the configure(1) script is run) 
via the Perl command "perl -pe -e 's/^fast_install.*/fast_install=needless' 
libtool".

I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Steve Emmerson
