I don't know. I don't THINK so, but...

Unfortunately my travel schedule won't allow me to look into this. It
smells like there is a real problem in libtool somewhere, but darned if
I know what it is.
It seems like a design decision was made, that IF in a given project
there are ANY libtool libs, then libtool will "know" about it by having
build_libtool_libs set to "yes". And thus, every executable is
*assumed* to be linked against those libs, and will therefore have a
wrapper and be linked against those shared libs.
Except in your case, you have ONE executable that is NOT linked against
any shared libs...and the wrapper-check fails.
Maybe the right answer here is to change the check so that instead of
# Check the variables that should have been set.
test -z "$notinst_deplibs" && \
func_fatal_error "invalid libtool wrapper script \`$wrapper'"
it checks for some other magic instead (which would need to be added to
the "make a wrapper" code)
# Check the variables that should have been set.
test -z "$generated_by_libtool_version" && \
func_fatal_error "invalid libtool wrapper script \`$wrapper'"
where the "make a wrapper" code ensures that the following assignment
appears in the wrapper
ORIG> if test "$libtool_install_magic" = "%%%MAGIC variable%%%"; then
ORIG> # install mode needs the following variables:

Our check wouldn't care about the actual VALUE of
$generated_by_libtool_version -- only that it was, in fact, set to
SOMETHING.
Can't flesh this out anymore right now, but you get the idea...
