Hi Ed,

I think this is because you are not using -brtl. The shared object is
added to the archive. If you had configured and built with -Wl,-brtl in
your LDFLAGS, you would get a separate shared library.

Because the shared library is part of the archive it is being installed
with the archive.

dump -X32_64 -H /path/to/libnetcdf.a should show you the shared members.
