The filename(s) of the library is system-dependent (e.g. libGL.so.3.1.3,
libGL.sl.3 ...) but the object files (.o and .lo) are not.
The src directory contains only the files that are known to the
make rules (.o, .lo, .la).
There's no doubt that libtool-specific must be stored in a subdirectory
but the question is why it should be hidden.
I'll ask the original libtool maintainer.
