The warning should be a note.  The note is necessary because users are
otherwise likely surprised that the compiler/linker is run upon 'make
install'.

That's bogus, and will be wrong when you don't have a preinstalled
library there.

You don't, that warning is not bogus.  If you don't run libtool --finish
yourself (when the libraries appear in their final location), it may be
that the installed libraries are not usable before the next reboot (at
which time systems typically run ldconfig).

Cheers,
