Libtool problems when building ImageMagick

I wanted to prepare a new ImageMagick package, but I am stuck with
the following problem.

It should be easy, its a cygport build with the following files

<http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygport>
<http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygwin.patch>
<http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1.cygport>
<ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick-6.3.9-8.tar.bz2>

The `cygport ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1 prep` works as usual (with the
accordingly adjusted files) but `cygport ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1 compile`
fails with a libtool error like this:

....
./libtool: line 845: X--tag=CC: command not found
(rest deleted)

See here
<http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-1-compile.log>
for the full logfile.

This does not happen with the ImageMagick 6.3.6-3 release (thanks
Yaakov) but with the latest versions of IM.

The problem in libtool (line 845 and others) is that instead of
echo, $echo is used. So the env. var echo is supposed to be set, but
it didn't happen. Why? I know nearly nothing about libtool, so far
it just worked.

If it helps, my cygcheck output:
<http://www.scytek.de/ImageMagick-6.3.9.8-X/cygcheck.log>

I would like to release a new IM package, but currently I am stuck.
