In util/Makefile.objs, there is a setting for dbus.o-libs. Trying to copy-paste that to add a library for module.o that was was not otherwise linked yields link errors on a number of binaries, e.g. qemu-ga, with unsatisfied symbols in libqemuutil.a(module.o). The reason is that library dependencies are not propagated to the .a files automatically.
Adding a call to extract-libs to get the libraries for the two .a files that are used elsewhere.
