[Bug 747697] Documentation fails to build because of mismatching libraries

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

See above. libtool figures out: "Okay, i've linked a program to some libraries
deep in the buildtree, but how the hell is it going to find these libraries
when it runs, huh? Well, no worries, i'll just tuck it into .libs subdirectory
and present a wrapper instead, and code the wrapper to populate PATH with
anything it might need, starting with all the directories that were passed with
-L, and some other stuff".

So -L is just me exploiting libtool implementation detail.

Adding .la instead would be more mainstream, BUT would cause gtk-doc to scan
these libraries, which __tim said is a big no-no.
