If he had a libintl in /usr/local, shouldn't it be complaining about / 
usr/local? It's complaining about some directory it should never even  
be touching.

Unless, of course, /usr/local/libintl.la is a symlink to that  
location, *and* libtool resolves symlinks before passing it off to  
the utilities it calls. I checked, and grep reports problems on the  
symlink, not on the destination file, when called with a symlink that  
points to nothing.
