I have a pretty vanilla shared library on the latest Ubuntu Karmic Koala that is built with autoconf, automake, and libtool. I've noticed that if I "make install" I always see "libtool: install: warning: relinking `librestest.la'" even when I know nothing has changed. Why?
One purpose for re-linking is to make sure that the installed library depends on installed libraries of the correct version rather than some library in a build tree, or an older version of an installed library. Another purpose can be to formally register the library with the system so that it will be used.
