The URL you posted requires a login. Are you able to provide an example or summarize the problematic identical options here? Libtool is not intended to be an optimizer. If it drops or re-orders options (as happens sometimes), then the build may fail. A list of arguments which is already too long when libtool is invoked is already a lost cause.
