New Failures in libjava Testsuite - Weird libtool Behaviour

[Ranjit Mathew]

Hi,

    Today's build has these new libjava testsuite failures:

  FAIL: TestEarlyGC compilation from source
  FAIL: TestLeak compilation from source
  FAIL: TestMultiple compilation from source
  FAIL: TestParent compilation from source

All of them fail because "dummy.o" is being created by
libtool in the ".libs" sub-folder of the testsuite
folder instead of the folder above it, *even when
explicitly being asked to create it above it via a
-o option* from the test script.

Why is the generated libtool suddenly behaving like
this? What could have caused this behaviour? ("lt*.*"
in the toplevel folder haven't changed in around
4 weeks now.)

Thanks,
Ranjit.
