Sure.  It happens with any GNU software that uses a pre-1.2f version
of libtool.

Install libtool-1.3.3 or libtool-1.3b on your machine, and rebootstrap
the package with something along the lines of:

    $ aclocal
    $ autoheader
    $ libtoolize --force
    $ automake
    $ autoconf

It is simply because the ld checking part of libtool.m4 was only
taught about DOS paths (with e.g. C:\foo\bar\ld) during the
development of libtool-1.2f.

Cheers,
	Gary.
