why relink on successive "make install"? |

Hi,
I have a pretty vanilla shared library on the latest Ubuntu Karmic
Koala that is built with autoconf, automake, and libtool. I've noticed
that if I "make install" I always see "libtool: install: warning:
relinking `librestest.la'" even when I know nothing has changed. Why?
Is there a way I could prevent this?
And I notice that it's only .libs/librestest.so.0.0.0T that is
relinked (note the trailing 'T'), not .libs/librestest.so.0.0.0. Of
course there is no need to relink .libs/librestest.so.0.0.0, because
nothing has changed. But why would .libs/librestest.so.0.0.0T be
relinked? What purpose does this duplicate (exactly the same size)
library serve?
Thanks. I've been a long time autotools user. Thank you very much for
this extremely helpful suite of software.

P.S. My search on the interwebs for answers turned up nil. If the
answers are out there somewhere and I missed them, please direct me to
them, and sorry about that.
