Upstart trunk build error. Libtool not picking correct dbus library.

Hi,

I am trying to compile upstart for ppc. 
I built (cross compiled) dbus (without x support) and the libraries are
in /nobackup/spuddupa/nova/linkfarm/ppc/lib
I ran configure on upstart using the following DBUS_CFLAGS and DBUS_LIBS
DBUS_CFLAGS="-I$(BINOS_TARGET_DEST_ABS_DIR)/usr/include/dbus-1.0
-I$(BINOS_TARGET_DEST_ABS_DIR)/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include"
DBUS_LIBS="-L$(BINOS_TARGET_DEST_ABS_DIR)/usr/lib -ldbus-1"

Configure seems to run fine and it generated the makefiles
make fails with the following error.

The issue is that libtool is picking up /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so instead of

/nobackup/spuddupa/nova/linkfarm/ppc/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so

To debug the issue, I ran the libtool cmd with the debug option and it
generated the log file. Looks like the libtool is looking for X support
in the libdbus-1 and is trying to use /usr/lib/libdbus-1 instead.
I tried attaching the libtool log file but it was big and my post did
not go thru (log file >400k). Here is a snippet of the check.

My question is if there is any dependency on X for upstart? 
Any suggestions to bypass this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sandeep
