Okay, thats what I thought. Here's the patch I hacked up last night to try
and do this, but it doesn't *quite* work. The very last entry in the
objectlist file is "./libltdl/libltdlc.la", which is different from all
the other files because it is an ".la" and not a ".lo". libtool seems to
strip the filename from it, and the linker complains about ./libtldl/
being a directory. Any ideas?
