But problem is not in the libtool.
Yes it is. If you're linking to libfoo, libtool reads libfoo.la and
adds direct links to everything in dependency_libs. Let's say libfoo
depends on libbar and libbaz. You're application ends up directly
linking to libfoo, libbar and libbaz instead of just libfoo.
No. If project when build a library don't add dependent libraries to
xxx_LIBADD libtool left dependency_libs empty in la-file.

Um, but what if the libraries actually needs to link to other
libraries? Just emptying LIBADD means you're building a broken
library.

"building a broken library" please explain.

I just answer to another mail in this mail thread. You state that all linux vendor build broken readline library !
