I'm not sure about calling it a feature, but it certainly appears
to be normal behavior.  I built a stock 1.4.3 libtool (why does
pkgsrc have such a bizarre and ancient version of libtool
anyway?) and replaced the gtk-engines-provided libtool with this
and got the same results.

Still, these files serve no purpose other than to bloat the
package size.  Can't they just be left out of the package even
though they are built?
