Well, I've come up empty handed. I was not able to determine why
libtool thinks that "-L/usr/local/lib" is a dependency of
the shared objects that we're trying to create.

The only thing I saw which was suspicious was that
ltconfig configured libtool without the --with-gnu-ld option, and
you are indeed using GNU ld (as is noted in the libtool file that you sent
me).

Line 4284 of libtool (the "file_magic*)" case) is where the processing
occurs that causes libtool to think that -L/usr/local/lib is a library; but
the code there *shouldn't* behave like we're seeing.

Does anyone that uses the GNU tools on HPUX have any idea?
