SuSE 9.2 building custom lirc error - "libtool:unrecognized option `--tag=CC'"

Hello (this is second attempt to trim size and get to list, hope it makes it), I am trying to use the HOWTO from: http://losdos.dyndns.org:8080/public/mythtv-info/MythTV_DISH_IR_LED_TX _via_Modified_LIRC.html I wish to have MythTV control a second instance of LIRC to control my Qwest ChoiceTV gateway box (a Next Level Communications / Motorola RG2000). My MythTV box is based on SuSE Pro 9.2. I installed the kernel sources and did the following: cat /proc/config.gz config.gz gunzip config.gz mv config .config make menuconfig (then just used the "save config" option to save) make bzImage make modules All appeard to build fine, did not see any reason to install though. After getting the lirc archive when I run the script I end up with a failure, the main error appearing to be: libtool: unrecognized option `--tag=CC' This error occurs towards the end of the console output, which I've included in its entirety below (sorry for the length). What am I missing, I've got the more recent version of libtool: mythtv1:~/myth-ledxmit # libtool --version ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.5.8 (1.1220.2.118 2004/08/07 12:24:38) And my system has been updated with apt from sources provided at: http://folk.uio.no/oeysteio/apt/suse/ I am not sure if this is a SuSE kernel issue or a problem with the lirc procedure - so I have posted it to both lists> Thank you much for any ideas/suggestions on how to fix this. - Richard CONSOLE OUTPUT FROM myth-ledxmit.sh FOLLOWS: mythtv1:~/myth-ledxmit # ls -sl total 2824 0 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 256 Dec 30 19:21 . 1 drwx------ 22 root root 968 Dec 30 19:15 .. 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2878 Dec 29 23:12 DCT2000 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2526 Dec 29 23:15 DigitalCable 60 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 57530 Dec 30 19:15 config 16 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14133 Dec 29 23:35 ledxmitd.conf 1 drwxrwxrwx 8 rnmixon users 1056 Nov 7 06:40 lirc-0.7.0 2735 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2795520 Dec 29 18:52 lirc-0.7.0.tar 4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2479 Dec 30 00:13 myth-ledxmit.sh mythtv1:~/myth-ledxmit # ./myth-ledxmit.sh lirc-0.7.0 ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Copying lirc source directory... ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Moving lirc directories ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Moving lirc files ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Renaming lirc vars in files ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Renaming LIRC vars in files ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Restoring exec permissions ./myth-ledxmit.sh: Running configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for mawk... no checking for gawk... gawk checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -g -Wall ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc -O2 -g -Wall ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for style of include used by make...
