I had this problem too.
Problem: 
libtool (shell-script) is generated by configure.
configure is generated by aclocal, autoheader, ...

libtool defines a variable 
ECHO="echo"
but uses a variable 
$echo

The variable echo is empty. This empty variable produce the crash.
see also ltmain.sh - search for '\$echo'

simple workaround:
Add a line 
echo="echo"
after the line 
ECHO="echo"
in libtool (do not replace the line!).
This should solve the problem (until the next run of configure). 

better workaround:
change the file /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 (be root!)
Save the file first!
- search for "_LT_PROC_ECHO_BACKSLASH" (without "")
- add the line 
echo=${lt_ECHO-echo}
after the line 
ECHO=${lt_ECHO-echo}
You can also add a modified version of the test follows this line.
- add the line 
_LT_DECL([], [echo], [1], [An echo program that does not interpret
backslashes])
near the end of the macro after the line 
_LT_DECL([], [ECHO], [1], [An echo program that does not interpret
backslashes])
- run automake etc., configure -> the generated libtool should contain the line
ECHO="echo"
and the line
echo="echo"
