Hmm, no, you have to do it before you configure and build libtool. There are 
other workarounds to the ld bug, but they'd involve me adding a bunch more 
darwin specific bits to ltmain.m4sh and we'd probably all rather that I 
avoid that.

The test is correct, the linker is broken, but in this case, if both liba 
and libb are shared, or both are static, then the test passes. It only fails 
for shared libb with static liba. This situation seems fairly unlikely in 
the real world, so skipping the test is probably appropriate.
