So, apparently, it didn't work :(

This thread -
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2010-07/msg00031.html
seems to suggest that the limitation is in libtool only. The reporter
wrote that after patching libtool, everything links and works correctly.

We're moving to mysql-5.5 codebase, and it can be built with cmake only,
not with autotools. I wonder whether cmake has the same problem that
libtool has on hp-ux.
