check_LTLIBRARIES and -module ??

[Magnus Therning]

This is part of my Makefile.am for my test directory:

  check_PROGRAMS = test
  check_LTLIBRARIES = libtest.la

  test_SOURCES = ...
  test_DEPEDENCIES = libtest.la

  libtest_la_SOURCES = ...
  libtest_la_LDFLAGS = -module


What's above doesn't result in a shared object at all, which is what I
would have expected (-module should result in something that can be
dlopen()'ed according to the manual). Instead I only get an archive
(.a).

Modifying the last line to read

  libtest_la_LDFLAGS = -module -rpath /silly

will result in both an archive and a shared object being created.

Why didn't the first work the way I wanted? Is -module broken?

Philips, the company that I work for, does not support my idle ramblings.
The opposite, it goes without saying, is true as well.
