Automake-1.7 was complaining about the same object file being used both
in an .so lib and compiled directly into a test program.  I the
rationale for this error is that the libtool step and the regular
compile will both create rules for a .o files, possibly in a different
manner.

Totally agreed.  It's the tool we have to work with, though.
