Whenever I hit libtool-caused problems like this on Linux, I find that
the problems all magically go away by deleting all .la files from
system library directories, (/usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, etc.).

The .la files are not necessary for Linux, and they cause actual harm.

Distribution packages generally do special things to ensure that the
.la files don't get installed. What I haven't figured out is why the
distributions don't change libtool to not install these files when
doing a normal build, (outside of the packaging system).

Good luck!
