I'm far from an expert on libtool.

Using DESTDIR everything including shared libraries is installed in a
staging area by `make install'. Files will only be moved to the ``live
filesystem'' by the package manager after things like make install
have finished running. Currently `libtool --mode=finish' is run on the
``live filesystem'' library directory. This should not have any effect
on anything in the staging area.

Thus `libtool --mode=finish' should either be run on the DESTDIR
staging area or not at all.
