please show an example command that fails, and ideally include a patch showing what change you want to make

i tried to quickly reproduce this locally based on your description, but it works fine for me

Libtool 2.4.7.4-1ec8f-dirty enters an infinite loop in func_parse_options() when an invalid argument (with a parameter) is given after a valid argument. This is due to the variable $func_run_hooks_result not being cleared between iterations, coupled with the fall-through logic of case "--*=*".

Suggest adding:
func_unset func_run_hooks_result
above:
func_run_hooks func_parse_options ${1+"$@"}
in func_parse_options().
