Ok. Starting to understand. I should be debugging .libs/lt-glom rather
than .libs/glom.

.libs/lt-glom will use libglom.so from the development area (good).
.libs/glom will use the libglom.so from the install area (bad).

Now, the problem is when I run 'make', .libs/lt-glom gets deleted.
How do I get make to build .libs/lt-glom rather than .libs/glom?
