After the patch I just applied, I see this:

  $ cd libtool/depdemo
  $ ./libtool --version
  ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.3c (1.878 2001/03/31 23:51:07)
  $ ./libtool -n --mode=link c++ -o foo l1/libl1.la l2/libl2.la l1/libl1.la
  c++ -o .libs/foo l1/.libs/libl1.so l2/.libs/libl2.so 
/home/gary/devel/savannah/libtool/depdemo/l1/libl1.la l1/.libs/libl1.so 
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/gary/devel/savannah/libtool/tests/_inst/lib

Here we have three libl1.so, two from the link line, and a third as a deplib 
of libl2.

Thanks for your patience.  Could you try again with the HEAD release, and let 
us know if it is still broken for you?

Cheers,
        Gary.
