Well, we could cheat in the ltconfig script and tell libtool that it's
all right to link static libraries into shared libraries, but that's
all.

Yep, this is a know problem in `cvs update'. `cvs checkout' does the
right thing, since it sets all the timestamps as they are in the
repository, but it's not reasonable to do a full checkout all the
time. `cvs update' should be able to keep timestamps relatively
consistent, but it doesn't; I think Cyclic people are already aware of
the problem, but reporting it again wouldn't hurt :-)
egcs people have created a script that can be used to update the CVS
tree, that ensures that autoconf/automake-related files are updated in
the right order, so that their timestamps remain consistent. We might
do something similar for Kaffe. What do you think?
