Re: [libvirt] Likely build race, "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvirt"

I hit the same race twice on aarch64 and ppc64 and I can confirm the installation phase fails if libvirt.la is installed later than libraries which link to it. However, the dependencies seem to be set correctly in the Makefiles. But it looks like they are only honored when linking the library during the build phase. During make install libvirt.la and libraries which link to it are installed independently. That is, install-modLTLIBRARIES does not depend on anything except for the mod_LTIBRARIES themselves. Thus when libtool decides to relink the libraries libvirt.la may still be missing at this point. Manually changing install-modLTLIBRARIES: $(mod_LTLIBRARIES) to install-modLTLIBRARIES: $(mod_LTLIBRARIES) install-libLTLIBRARIES fixed the problem for me (tested with an artificial delay added to install-libLTLIBRARIES target), but I have no idea how to persuade automake to generate something like that for us. Eric, is my investigation correct and do you have any ideas on how to fix the race?
