We're no longer using libtool, and with that goes a lot of details like 
this.  This is simply because Bakefile does not support libtool.  I 
would think a better patch is to change Bakefile so it uses libtool for 
autoconf-based projects, but that's just me.

That only works for GCC.  The whole purpose of libtool is to wrap up 
details like this that differ between build systems.
