Now, there is a bug regarding the old ld not warning about missing symbols
in every case, but it does create the goop to make interlibrary dependencies
work.  This looks like XF86 (xsrc) isn't doing the proper dependencies at
libXt.so's link time.

Notwithstanding that it doesn't help for static libraries (and libtool has
workarounds for that case in the .la file), I can verify that interlibrary
dependencies are working on 1.4.2/i386.  In fact, the pkgsrc www/php3-*
modules use them.
