Here is a patch for binutils to fix linking against an archive when
building a shared library. It is complete bogus to put
dependency_libs='-L..... -lfoo"
in *.la for libfoo.a when building a shared library. I checked out
libtool from CVS. But libtool.m4 is very different from the one
in binutils so that I couldn't provide a patch.

* ltmain.sh: Allow link against an archive when building a
shared library.
* libtool.m4 (lt_cv_deplibs_check_method): Always use
file_magic for Linux ELF.
