Isn't it?

Nope, because libkaffevm is linked with libkthreads. It is at this
point that libkthreads expands to the list of object files, and
therefore libkaffevm gets all the object files from libkaffevm.

I think the libtool manual is still missing a section about
convenience libraries. Gordon Metzigkeit had just implemented it when
he left the maintenership of libtool, and I'm not sure he ever got to
document it properly. One more task for my to-do list for libtool 1.3
