AFAICT the library naming problem is not ours, whereas possibly the 
attempted linking of a static library into a dynamic executable is ours. 
I think in legacy times the compile flags were different for static and 
dynamic object files which is why libtool is complaining - but strangely 
NetBSD seems to be the only platform complaining about this...
