Oops, this `no' explains everything. Could you please send me the
output of `nm -p' for any small object file, say, the ones in libltdl,
after confirming that it really can't make it work (removing
ac_cv_sys_global_symbol_pipe from config.cache and configuring again
up to that point)

libtool depends on being able to extract the symbol list from an
object file. nm is the tool to do that, and it is very widely
available, but its output is not as much standardized as we'd like :-(
Maybe libtool should provide for a mechanism to accept some alternate
symbol list if it can't extract it by itself... This dlpreopening
feature has been supported by quite a long time, but is has only
become essential with modules and dlpreopening in libltdl.
