It's the glorious brokenness that is libtool. Basically, libtool needs
to be fixed to not use the stupid things on systems that don't need them
(like, oh, all of Debian). I don't know that filing bug reports would
be useful until libtool is fixed because I imagine most maintainers who
havn't actually run into the problems caused by .la files will just
whine "libtool did it".
