The libtool version in debian didn't change for a while so I
doubt this. And since the source itself didn't change either, I
don't see how libtool can cause this at all.
Do you only see this difference with libraries, or also with
binaries?
This seems to have been a temporary problem that has now gone
away, and all the obvious candidates don't seem to be the cause.
Building the same source (from sid) on sarge gives:
.rodata 689389 2101632
.data 40000 3907584
Which is comparable to the current version in sarge:
.rodata 684173 2084992
.data 40000 3883168
