Ubuntu 9.04 bug in libtool 2.2.6

I go ahead and install Kdevelop IDE. I am command-line/script developer because is faster and less resource intensive. But IDE's have so many bells and whistles that Is fair to give one a try every now and then. I launched Kdevelop, created a new C project and when I hit Build I get the following error.

../libtool: line 804: X--tag=CXX: command not found

Uh? And after that the whole configuration goes down hill. I'm running libtool 2.2.6 The latest greatest in Ubuntu Jaunty. After poking around the web I stumbled with the error and the fix at the following site: here Turns out that is a messy bug. For those running large projects on Kdevelop I don't envy the headache of the built-in dependencies with an IDE. The fix I took was change line 162 file: /usr/bin/libtool -ECHO="echo" +echo="echo" that little work around get the new projects working because the project creator copies libtool to the local project directory but for those upgrading they have to go and do it manually for every project. Pretty annoying.
