I have the impression the libtool developers consider it necessary, for some unknown reason, to do more build-time linking of shared objects than I would naively think necessary (i.e., why not just build the object file or files for the shared object, link them together with whatever flags the platform in question specifies for building a shared object, rather than doing all the contortions they appear to do at times?). This (and perhaps the HP-UX problem) might be a consequence of that. There may be a way to tell libtool not to do that, but I don't know what it is, offhand.
