It's most likely not libtool itself that's to blame here.
May bet is on some misconfigured pkg-config (*.pc) file
(or some old-style foo-config script) that leaks "-L /usr/lib64"
into your build.

Not very helpful. Probably better to set up a chroot environment
for a clean build. The cost of setting one up would probably
outweigh the pain of having to check for "contamination"
after every build with just a few builds.

That's a totally separate issue. You can't bump the so version
for every trial build.

That's one of the lamest excuses I've heard in a long time.
