IIRC there is a libtool bug where the libraries in /usr/lib are
preferred over those in /my/gnome/prefix, so the linker will try to link
against the old libraries in /usr/lib - which fails of course.

You'll have to remove /usr/lib/*.la (and /my/gnome/prefix/lib/*.la, if
they contain /lib dependencies). I am also using this strategy.

I do not know why these files are distributed at all - ELF inherently
supports dependencies. They might be important when loading libraries at
run-time.
