I am really impressed, you are right! That file was there, but it was
not created during that build, it is from earlier. The library has an
option to build stuff as modules or to compile it in using convenience
libraries.
Removing those has fixed the problem.
I am really grateful that you have helped me, many thanks, Peter!

Maybe one question towards libtool maintainers is left:
Is that detection of lib/libjpeg.la a desired behavior? I just pass
-ljpeg as an LDFLAGG, not as a LIBADD library...
