wow that was weird, I just tried and got the same result

from what I gather it's a linking problem, when you let autoconf and
libtool do the linking (like in the library example programs) it does
the Right Thing, if you just link against the library directly (both
the dynamic and the static one) you get the above horror

I'm going to slap myself in the face with Drepper's article[1] until I
figure it out
