Unnecessary linking with dependencies

[Josselin Mouette]

When libtool is used to build a library libfoo that depends on another
libtool library (libbar), it takes the dependencies in the libbar.la
file and explicitly links with them, i.e. :
./libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 [blah blah] -lbar
gives
gcc -shared -g -O2 [blah blah blah] -lbar -lsomething -lX11 ...
where libsomething, libX11... are dependencies for libbar, and libbar
already links with them.

Is it possible to prevent that behaviour ? I'd like to only link
explicitly with libbar. The documentation mentions link_all_deplibs=no,
but it doesn't seem to do that.
