#20 No library suffix on SUSE 10.2

[James Oakley]

For some reason, when I compile libdnet on SUSE 10.2
(On my alpha system and on SUSE's buildservers), the
libraries have no suffix. Here's a snippet of make install
output:

mkdir -p -- /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c
libdnet.la /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib/libdnet.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libdnet.1.0.1 /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib/libdnet.1.0.1
(cd /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib && rm -f libdnet.1 && ln -s
libdnet.1.0.1 libdnet.1)
(cd /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib && rm -f libdnet && ln -s
libdnet.1.0.1 libdnet)
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libdnet.lai /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib/libdnet.la
/usr/bin/install -c .libs/libdnet.a /var/tmp/libdnet-root/usr/lib/libdnet.a

Note the lack of '.so' in any of those filenames.

The libtool version is 1.5 22.

I have experienced the same thing on RHEL3. This is a wide-spread bug in libtool where the ".so" extension is specified in variable "shrext" while the the variable that is actually used by the code is "shrext_cmds". The attached patch provides a workround.

Same on Debian/testing and Openwrt whiterussian buildroot. Seems to be a problem of libtool.
