It may be the libtool actually knows what's going on, and is playing
tricks to work around compiler bogosities (on HP-UX or whatever).
As I said in a different thread on this same subject:
The important point, as I understand it, is that `make install' with a
different prefix should _not_ embed the new prefix in anything that gets
installed -- all embedded paths should still use the old prefix.
I suppose it's OK to violate the letter of the rule as long as you're
quite sure that the end effect is the same.
So does libtool's relinking do the `right thing' when the two prefixes
are different?
[and also -- am I correct in thinking that the `path embedding' issue is
main problem with relinking at install-time? Are there other things
that need considering?]
