I have the same problem with guile-gtk.  I think it is a genuine
libtool problem and well known, too.  But asking on bug-libtool might
be a good idea anyway, as there seems to be some new kids in town.
You might want to look into guile-gtk/README and
guile-gtk/gtk/dynlink.scm to see how I have kluged around this.

I have long planned on getting this right, but I'm still too much of a
coward.
