I just happened to be installing a new system today (and building 
Wireshark to see how fast it'll build ;-)) and I did not see this problem:

Maybe your libtool has a bug?  I think it's libtool's job to make sure 
the built things use the right libraries and so forth; remember that:

I'm using:

chopin [~/Projects/wireshark/source/]> libtool --version
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.24 (1.1220.2.456 2007/06/24 02:25:32)
