Yah.  Told you it wasn't tested yet.  :)

: Actually after a bit of testing it seems that something like
:
: 	[lt_cv_deplibs_check_method='file_magic \/lib[^\/]+\.so\(\.[0-9]+\)*$']
:
: would seem to do the trick for both ELF and a.out.

However, this isn't correct for ELF, as it would give you a false match if
the .so symlink is missing (on ELF), or if there's zero, one, or three-plus
version number components (on a.out).

The ones I gave are very strict about the file extension, as they match
files the same way the linker does when searching for -l libraries.
