Which libraries are added?  Which of those would you like to avoid?
Please show a 'libtool --mode=link' command line and its output.

libtool normally adds all direct and indirect library dependencies
(the latter only when link_all_deplibs is true, which it currently is
everywhere except in the Debian-modified libtool), as well as compiler
support libraries.  The indirect deplibs is an obvious issue for at
least distributors, the rest is usually the right thing to do.

Cheers,
Ralf
