(I think) libtool then assumes that, because this library will never be installed, nobody will ever want to open it with libltdl. It writes dlname='' to the .la file instead of the real name. This happens even if -module is explicitly given. Having an empty dlname='' causes libltdl not to be able to open the module. My intention was to build this library to be dlopen()ed by a testcase, so I think the dlname='' line should always be correctly filled in -- or at least when using '-module'. Thanks in advance.
