Problem with cvs MacOS X support

[David Thompson]

I'm seeing one strange behavior still with the cvs version (checked 
out as of July 30) of libtool. If I issue the following on MacOS X:

libtool --mode=link gcc3  -no-cpp-precomp 
-I/Users/dthompsn/src/local/include -Wall -g -O2 -no-cpp-precomp 
-I/usr/local/include -I/Users/dthompsn/src/local/include 
-I/usr/X11R6/include -D_GNU_SOURCE  -L/usr/local/lib 
-L/Users/dthompsn/src/local/lib -o libDXL.la -rpath 
/usr/local/dx/lib_macos -version-info 4:21:0 close.lo conn.lo 
connect.lo dict.lo execute.lo exit.lo handlers.lo load.lo os2.lo 
open.lo query.lo save.lo send.lo sequencer.lo socket.lo value.lo 
windows.lo x11.lo object.lo

the static link does the following:

ar cru .libs/libDXL.a  .libs/close.o .libs/conn.o .libs/connect.o 
.libs/dict.o .libs/execute.o .libs/exit.o .libs/handlers.o 
.libs/load.o .libs/os2.o .libs/open.o .libs/query.o .libs/save.o 
.libs/send.o .libs/sequencer.o .libs/socket.o .libs/value.o 
.libs/windows.o .libs/x11.o .libs/object.o   close.o conn.o connect.o 
dict.o execute.o exit.o handlers.o load.o os2.o open.o query.o save.o 
send.o sequencer.o socket.o value.o windows.o x11.o object.o

Why is it including the .libs version of *.o as well as the *.o in 
the build directory?
