Look again. That's entirely inconsistent with my experience with
automake's (1.10) behavior. The object file generated from the above
should be "modules/System/modules_System_system_la-system.lo".

That seems unlikely. dlopen should be looking for system.so. I don't
imagine it cares about the location of system.o.
