Hi Stephan,

Did you mean this link? 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2016-06/msg00001.html

The ltmain.sh file in the release tarballs is generated by libtool --
it's not a file we maintain manually.  Looks like there's a bug in some
version of libtool that makes it generate the bad "func__fatal_error"
line, and I guess some of our releases were built with that version of
libtool.  (It's a shame the mailing list thread doesn't mention what
version...)

Looking deeper into the missing c++ compiler issue, I've found this
discussion thread:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-autoconf/2010-05/msg00001.html

Our configure script already checks for AC_PROG_CXX, but it does so
after it checks for AC_PROG_CC.  I'm pushing up commits to change the
order of this in a moment, which will hopefully mean future releases
will be able correctly detect a missing c++ compiler at the configure
stage, instead of crashing out in ltmain.sh.

Cheers,

ellie
