Indeed. I have seen this several times. On some occasions
the '-L' had to be taken out of CFLAGS (like in ncurses)

Some needed manual patching and now I have encountered this problem
again in an old libflac version. James suggested to use an interposing
script between CC and the real compiler which reorders -L and -I
directives so /opt/csw comes last and the stuff on workdir/ first.
I haven't implemented this, though.

I also encountered this when packaging gettext, but couldn't solve it.

BTW, are you sure this is a libtool issue?
