Ah.. Is the following true:

  No -rpath flag => convenience library => no .lai is created ?


Anyway, CMU libsasl's breakage is to define

  AM_LDFLAGS = -module -export-dynamic -rpath $(plugindir)

in plugins/Makefile.am, but then override that setting for every plugin with
its own LDFAGS eg

  libsasldb_la_LDFLAGS = -version-info $(sasldb_version)


Cheers,
