This warning is from pkglibtool, correct?

It's just a warning. It means you can't, with a.out, really link a
library into another library, and then expect that linking the second
library into a program will automatically pull in the first library.
The foolproof way is to add all the dependent libraries to the link
command for the final program. So when you try to link library foo
into library bar, libtool makes a note of it in bar.la and emits this
warning. Now it can do the right thing, that is, "--mode=link -lbar"
becomes "-lbar -lfoo" in the resulting link command.
