Well, it looks like he's telling us what's wrong,
In fact, this port doesn't seem to be building
shared libraries properly, and attempts to link
static libraries against shared objects. This
is probably due to misuse of libtool.
but I'm not quite sure what to do with this information. Dan Weber, you
wrote the libtool Makefiles, right? Do you know what's going on here?
