fixing linkage against uninstalled libtool archives on macos?

[Andy Wingo]

Hi,

I posted a message to bug-libtool that hasn't gotten a response:

    http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2008-11/msg00012.html

In short, "libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc ... /path/to/libfoo.la" does
not do the right thing on Mac OS with libtool 2.2.6a. Can I get
confirmation of this bug?

Just to recap, the bug is that having
"../../../gst/libgstreamer-0.10.la" on the link line expands into
"-L../../../gst/.libs -lgstreamer-0.10" instead of
"../../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.10.dylib". I tested replacing the
"-L -l" combination with the path to the dylib, and that seems to work.
So it seems to be a bug in libtool.
