Here in NetBSD land we aren't that happy using file(1) for
deplibs_check_method...
The reason that pass_all can't be used is that on some platforms linking
in a library of the form libfoo.a can cause problems. So Todd suggested
we use echo with file_magic and patterns that ld(1) uses to match shared
libraries. These patterns don't actually match the real library (on ELF)
and so this uses of file_magic fails as it follows symlinks.
So what to do... I have two suggestions
1) Change file_magic so that it doesn't follow symlinks - this will
probably cause problems with the platforms that don't specify
file_magic_cmd='file -L'
2) Create a new deplibs_check_method, e.g. match_pattern, diff (against
head) attached.
Thoughts?
