I used to get these a lot. I link shared libraries (Matlab MEX
functions) against my static libraries. To fix this, I patch libtool
after configure using this line in configure.ac and the following
shell script. I have not removed this, so I'm not sure if the most
recent libtool still issues these warnings and refuses to build the
shared libraries.


AC_CONFIG_COMMANDS([libtool_patch],[chmod 755
patch_libtool.sh;./patch_libtool.sh])


#! /bin/bash
mv libtool libtool.orig
cat libtool.orig | sed -e
"s/deplibs_check_method=.*/deplibs_check_method=pass_all/g" > libtool
chmod 755 libtool
