Are you using the bootstrap script from gnulib (which I didn't check), or my
rewrite from Libtool, Zile, luaposix et el? There is nothing in the code for
gnulib-tool that would change the default name of the gnulib library from
libgnu.a, short of passing --lib=lib$package to it at invocation time.
Similarly there is no code in bootstrap rewrite to override the default setting
of --lib, save setting gnulib_name=lib$package in bootstrap.conf. Bootstrap
rewrite is extremely configurable, so maybe you are overwriting setting
gnulib_name somehow from bootstrap.conf?
Quickly testing latest gnulib-tool, it already shows a reminder to set _LDADD
or _LDFLAGS appropriately. It seems your environment is not working properly.
HTH,
