bug#9095: libtool is picking the wrong path for dependent libraries

hi,

i dont know if i have a bug, or user error.  i am cross compiling
openhpi (and openipmi) into a root file system.  the libtool command
does not have the build host system's libraries in the -L arguments,
yet the libraries are explicitly pathed to the build host's versions.
even if i use --with-openipmi=/path/to/openipmi, since the libs are
added to the link line with -L -l -l, libtool seems to search for the
libs and explicitly path them.  is this a bug?  or how do i get libtool
to use the cross compiled libraries?

here is the libtool command, and the resultant link line.  (the spacing
is mine so i could see what was happening.  the output's order _is_
preserved.)

thanks for your help

bug#9210: Documentation: misleading wording

Dear maintainers,

Today I browsed
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Configure-notes.html#Configure-notes
and read this:

    When building on some linux systems [...]

I am surprised you use the name "linux" to designate the entire system. I think
you should use "GNU/Linux" instead. For more information, please read
http://www.gnu.org/gnu/gnu-linux-faq.html.
