It seems that libtool is intelligent enough (probably thanks to
"installed=no") and everything uses just-built instance.

I did a following test:

Build and install:
rpm -Uhv /usr/src/packages/RPMS/x86_64/gamin-*

Clean and build again:
cd /usr/src/packages/BUILD/gamin-0.1.5/python/
make clean
strace -f -o pyth.str make
strace -f -o pytht.str make tests

Check, which libgamin was used:
fgrep /usr/lib64/libgamin-1. *.str
Not found.
fgrep libgamin-1. *.str
Many occurrences found, all refers to local directory.
