I opened up a libtool script from a working build on a linux machine and 
saw:

# turn spaces into newlines.
SP2NL="tr \\040 \\012"

# turn newlines into spaces.
NL2SP="tr \\015\\012 \\040\\040"

I pasted-replaced that into the broken libtool script on darwin10.
I cleaned all .la files to remake them, and all of the above problems went 
away.

So I guess an ugly temporary workaround is to patch the 
configure-generated libtool script between configure && make?
