the problem with gettext and the inter-dependent library install
disappeared after i removed "-Wl,-brtl" from my build environments
default LDFLAGS. I'm not exactly sure why enabling RTL would break
things at that point, but never mind that now.
The new and very similar problem is with subversion-1.4.3, which
also comes with several inter-dependent libraries. libtool is at
version 1.5.23b and fails to locate the dependent libraries in
DESTDIR/instprefix:

At least the first non-inter-dependent library seems sane (see the
following dump output), but the ones that'd be created from the above
command would have hardcoded library paths. Is this intended?

    $ dump -Hv

If i override the configure'ed values:
    hardcode_into_libs=yes
    hardcode_direct=yes
in the build local libtool to:
    hardcode_into_libs=no

I can fix this after the stage-install by manually relinking all
the binaries, but it'd be nice to get it right without manual
intervention ;-) Actually i would've expected the completely
opposite effect of the hardcode_* settings, i.e. _NO_ PATH in the
dump output with hardcode{_direct|_into_libs}=no. Am i missing
something here? Can some kind soul help me get this thing to work?

Thanks & Regards,
