Ok, I checked in a "fix" for this.  We used to use AM_PROG_LIBTOOL macro
in configure.in but because of that, we got a bunch of 
"AC_TRY_RUN" (?) messages when doing a configure.  So, I switched it to
the newer (and prefered?) AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, which corrected that
(well, except for one caused by endian detection which is apparently 
a known bug) but caused what you saw....So I've switched it back.

I totally suck at autoconf...Some day I'll get a clue.

James, if you're reading this we may just want to say something in the FAQ
about why those messages appear and that they are harmless.
