Perhaps the libtool version is older/different - what happens when you
remove the space?

The problem here is not the space, but the fact that -L requires a
directory as an argument - like -L/usr/local/lib - and consumes the
following argument (in this case -R) instead. You'll need to figure
out why no path is included here. -R should also have a path argument,
but I would have expected -Wl,-rpath to be used instead on Linux. All
this points to the ./configure script and its friends getting very
confused. I'd recommend re-trying the build in a clean Fedora Docker
container with only the required packages (gcc, make, ...) installed
from the distribution's default repositories. Once you have a working
build, it should be easier to determine where your current problems
actually start.
