That's fine. So I went an tried to reproduce. It builds fine here with FC-6:

$ ./configure
[...]
$ make
[...]
ar cru .libs/libmimedir.a  dirlex.o dirsynt.o parse.o get.o dup.o
free.o memmem.o add.o count.o del.o
ranlib .libs/libmimedir.a
creating libmimedir.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libmimedir.la && ln -s ../libmimedir.la libmimedir.la)
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o test.o -c test.c
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -o
test test.o -L. libmimedir.la
gcc -Wall -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -o .libs/test test.o
-L/tmp/libmimedir-0.5 ./.libs/libmimedir.so -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/local/lib
creating test


I can only reproduce it if I insert a non-existant inter-library
dependency into the

  dependency_libs=''

definition in the libtool archive or mess with $deplib. You could
debug the ./libtool script, where the error message is in a single
place. :-)
