library relinking problem

[David Bustos]

I'm trying to install pango at my site, which has an unusual repository
structure.  Specifically, platform-independent files go into
/repository/share/pango-1.0.5, and platform-dependent files go in
/repository/$platform/pango-1.0.5.  Symlinks (and NFS trickery) are used
to make the software appear in /repository.

Pango builds ok.  But installation goes at this output:  (Here,
/repository is /home/bustos/kg, and platform is "sparc".)

========================================================================
...
/bin/bash ../libtool  --mode=install /home/kg/bin/ginstall -c libpangox-1.0.la

========================================================================

and the installation process fails farther down the line.

First, ld can't find libpango-1.0 because it's been installed into
/home/bustos/kg/sparc/pango-1.0.5/lib, but that directory isn't on the
command line.  I think libtool is using /home/bustos/kg/lib because
that's what libdir is set to in libpango-1.0.la.  Which is where it will
be in the end, but until the symlinks are installed, it won't show up.
To verify this, I modified libtool thusly:

            else

            fi
 
            if test $linkmode = prog; then
              test -n "$add_dir" && finalize_deplibs="$add_dir 
$finalize_deplibs"

and indeed installation succeeded.  So, is pango doing something wrong?
If not, how can libtool be fixed to use the installation directory
rather than the destination directory?

Second, is libtool returning an error code?  If so, why does make
continue anyway?
