Interesting. It clearly shouldn't do that, because make-4.1 is
very much supposed to handle -l targets: if it didn't, no
skarnet.org package could ever build. I suspect it's related to
the way you installed it, something about vpaths and dynamic
linkers - but I'm too sleepy right now to investigate. If by
tomorrow you haven't found why it's not working, I'll give it a
try.
