 Has duplicate #43005.

 Christopher, thanks for those links. I've read through them.

 This thread from 2012 is indeed a user reporting this problem and it is
 suggested that libtool is being used incorrectly but it is never clarified
 in what way it is being used wrong. The few suggested solutions are
 disproven by the OP.

 The second problem on that page from 2007, "The wrong-gcc problem", does
 describe this problem. The first solution presented there, using `-rpath`,
 does not sound relevant to me but I have not tried it. The second
 solution, building a dedicated libtool for each compiler that you want to
 use and instructing each build to use it, sucks. There is no reference to
 any upstream bug report or discussion.

 This bug from 2012 talks about unknown arguments passed to libtool when
 linking being ignored but doesn't mention the wrong compiler being used to
 do the link. If this is indeed the same problem, the developers of libtool
 may not recognize its severity given this lack of information.

 I think a new bug report should be filed with the developers of libtool.
