I just ran into the problem on Solaris as well, using libtool 1.4.  This is
a pretty recent version, so it would be better to try to get it to work with
more libtool versions.  I traced the problem to the fact that several
variables (e.g. pic_mode, build_libtool_need_lc) aren't being initialized
at the beginning of the libtool script, yet are accessed in test clauses
later.  Either those test clauses should have quotes around the variables
or the variables should be given values at the beginning of the script.  It
sounds like a libtool problem to me, but something in gphoto2 must be
triggering it.
