Libtool searches /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 because the Debian
folks decided to not follow the AMD64 ABI, and libtool remained
neutral in this regard (i.e., broken for both Debian and ABI-compliant
distros).  Try adding -L/usr/lib64 or something along these lines to
LDFLAGS, so that libtool finds libs in the right place, and it should
work.
