libtool wants to install LIBRARY.lai, but it doesn't exist

[Marc Singer]

In the ltmain.m4 script, there is this code

        # Install the pseudo-library for information purposes.
        name=`$echo "X$file" | $Xsed -e 's%^.*/%%'`
        instname="$dir/$name"i
        $show "$install_prog $instname $destdir/$name"
        $run eval "$install_prog $instname $destdir/$name" || exit $?

The instname points refer to a '.lai' file.  But that file isn't being
built.  Any ideas as to why this would be the case?  I'm cross
compiling and the configure invocation looks like this:

          export CC=$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc ; \
          export AR=$(CROSS_COMPILE)ar ; \
          export RANLIB=$(CROSS_COMPILE)ranlib ; \
          export STRIP=$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip ; \
          export LIBS=-Wl,-rpath,$(TOP)/tools/lib ; \
          ./autogen.sh  --build=`$(TOP)/scripts/config.guess` \
                        --host=arm-linux\
                        --disable-static\
                        --prefix=/usr )
