In my case, it was a problem of nested dependencies; the error was not due to $lib (the dependency of the dependency) but too $name (the dependency) which had been compiled when $lib was in another directory; so the solution was to rebuild $name not $lib.
Here is a patch giving a message with $name and $laname:
