there are two minor issues (depending on libtool and compiler used).
1) The libtool object files are still called '.o' (should be '.lo').

err, no.  if a file ends in .o it means the object was built without PIC.
 if it ends in .lo it means the object was built with PIC.  it does not
mean .lo was built with libtool and .o was not.

AFAIK, .lo is the generic object file of libtool, being a text file,
basically containing two lines of shellcode:

sorry, you're right of course.  not sure why ncurses accesses the files
directly when libtool should handle all the redirection for you.

libtool doesn't wrap around 'make' to provide dependencies - the makefiles
have partial dependencies to make it all work...
