Spurious warning from libtool when -dlopen self is used, no @PROGRAM@ symbols in final binary

[Kevin P. Fleming]

Makefile.am contains:

bin_PROGRAMS = src/nALFS
src_nalfs_LDFLAGS = -dlopen self

When configure is given --enable-static --disable-shared, the link of 
src/nALFS produces this warning:

./libtool: line 1: src/.libs/src/nALFS.exp: No such file or directory

This comes from line 4296 of the CVS ltmain.in, because there is no 
"src" directory inside src/.libs. The result is that the program 
symbols from src/nALFS are not in the preloaded_symbols list because 
the .exp file is never generated.

Somehow libtool needs to translate "src/nALFS" into a usable filename, 
not a full path, before trying to create the .exp file with the 
symbols list. I don't have enough of a clue about the innards of 
libtool to figure out a patch, hopefully someone else with more 
knowledge can figure this one out.
