    I must say I don't fully understand your problem, but, when you speak
    about libtool removing some args you expected to be transmitted to the
    linker, I just remember having struggled with that and finished using
    the "-Xlinker" switch which is usefull to force transmiting some
    special flag to the linker.
    my own case looked like that :
    in some Makefile.am I had this line :

libmylib_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info -Xlinker --export-all-symbols

    and the switch "--export-all-symbols" was transmitted to te linker at
    building the lib.

    maybe this can help ?
