This complaint is because libhtmllayouthtml.la was linked with the 
-module flag to libtool, which means it is meant to be a dlopenable 
module, and on some platforms (Mac OS X/darwin NetBSD/a.out) may not be 
used as input to the linker.

If libhtmllayouthtml.la was not linked with the -module flag, it is a bug.
