Use libtool to build static archives when --with-static-prpls is passed
to configure. Does anyone know why we weren't using libtool before? We
were building old-fashioned .a files. But libtool archives (.la) can
contain either static or shared libraries.
I found it a lot easier to get static prpl compilation working after
making this change (that is to say, it worked). Without this I got this
error, which is probably fixable, but consistently using libtool seems
like it makes things easier:
*** Warning: Linking the shared library libpurple.la against the
*** static library ../libpurple/protocols/msn/libmsn.a is not portable!
/usr/bin/ld: ../libpurple/protocols/msn/libmsn.a(libmsn_a-msn.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
