That file is the intermediate output generated by libtool (AFAIK). To get the 
final binaries you need to run "make install".

You can use DESTDIR (as in "make install DESTDIR=/some/temp/dir") to install 
things into a temp directory, and then copy the binaries from there. I 
recommend 
configuring with "--without-root-privileges" when doing that.
