It appears that the issue is caused by the outdated libtool. There
was no libtool in the source package, but a quite old ltmain.sh, so
the newly created libtool didn't evaluate this new "=" syntax.
Running "autoreconf --force --install" updates ltmain.sh in the
source package (it runs "libtoolize --copy --force" among other
things). So, after running autoreconf, configure and make the linking
works. This new syntax in .la files looks really strange, but it
seems this is not a bug.

Thanks and
best regards,

Anatolij
