By default, libtool builds two .o files for every .lo rule:
src/foo.o - static builds
src/.libs/foo.o - shared library builds
But since commit ad42b34b disabled static builds, src/foo.o is
no longer built by default. On a fresh checkout, this means our
protocol check rules using pdwtags were testing a missing file,
and thanks a lousy behavior of pdwtags happily giving no output
and 0 exit status (
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/949034), we were
merely claiming that "dwarves is too old" and skipping the test.
However, if you swap between branches and do incremental builds,
such as building v0.10.2-maint and then switching back to master,
you end up with src/foo.o being leftover from its 0.10.2 state,
and then 'make check' fails because the .o file does not match
the protocol-structs file due to API additions in the meantime.
A simpler fix would be to always look in .libs for the .o to
be parsed; but since it is possible to pass ./configure options
to tell libtool to do a static-only build with no shared .o,
I went with the approach of finding the newest of the two files,
whenever both exist.
