: library into a program will automatically pull in the first library.

Actually, that's not true - it works fine on *NetBSD* a.out, as long as the
library that has the dependency also gets the appropriate rpath options.

I believe I sent the libtool guys the appropriate information to eliminate
this warning in the next full libtool release (...I'll check).
