Yes, that is a bug.  But the idea outlined in that thread is not
sufficient to fix the bug.  See [1], where I also outline a different
idea which I think might be feasible, but which would be quite a bit of
work (more than I could invest ATM).

I have no idea.  I believe you are providing way to little information
in order to be able to even reproduce the bug.

What system is this on?  What exactly did you do with the installed .la
files?  Was that even a local install at all, where in?
Note that just deleting library dependencies is not the right thing to
do at all, it has to point to the right libraries instead.

How can we (step by step) reproduce your failure?  Which specific change
exposed the failure (if that can be answered easily)?
