Thank you for the bug report.  I need a little more information to
reproduce it:
- What does `./libtool --version' and `./libtool --config' say?
- Are libY.la and libZ.la convenience archives or to-be-installed
  libraries?  I.e., in Automake terms, are they noinst_LTLIBRARIES
  or something else?

Cheers,
Ralf
