OK. There are two problems here.

The solution to the first problem, I still believe, is as simple as 
introducing -L/buildlink/lib before the libbase.la option to libtool. 
Although I'm not completely sure that won't introduce some unwanted side 
effects.

The second problem is much harder as it affects all a.out linking for 
libraries with uninstalled dependencies. That is, anything that gets relinked 
by libtool. In this case hardcode_direct=yes is probably the wrong for a.out, 
but that opens a whole can of worms. Let me get back to you.
