Hi libtool hackers,

I'm trying to build evolution-2.7.3 and the build bombs out like this:

gcc -shared  .libs/ea-cell-table.o .libs/gal-a11y-util.o -Wl,--whole-archive 
e-text/.libs/libgal-a11y-etext.a e-table/.libs/libgal-a11y-etable.a 
-Wl,--no-whole-archive 
-L/usr/src/home/rpmtest/tmp/INST/evolution-2.7.3-i686-pc-linux-gnu/usr/lib  
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/evolution/2.8 -L/usr/lib/evolution/2.8 -leutil

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -leutil
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libtool: install: error: relink `libevolution-a11y.la' with the above command 
before installing it

libeutil.la, which is part of the same package (and hence NOT installed
under /usr/lib/evolution/2.8/ but IS installed under
$(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/evolution/2.8) contains this:
  # Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
  libdir='/usr/lib/evolution/2.8'

Notably missing from the link command pasted above is
- -L$(DESTDIR)/usr/lib/evolution/2.8.  Libtool *does* however add
- -L/usr/lib/evolution/2.8, so it's obviously doing *some* of what it
needs to.

Surely this isn't a new bug... I'm using 1.5.22 BTW.  Are there any
(Works For Me (tm) if also imperfect) patches to fix this?

TIA
