It seems like it probably is a libtool bug that is specific to AIX
and/or libtool with shared libraries disabled.

libtool should not be removing the pathname component in front of the
shared library. Rather, it should be able to give the full pathname of
the *.a library file (I assume this will work even on AIX???).
