libiconv, libtool-base, and imap-uw didn't install .so files, but they
did install .a and .la files. This is under BSD/OS 4.3.1.

openssl did successfully install .so libraries.

$ ls -l /usr/pkg/lib/lib
libc-client.a       libcrypto.so.300    libltdl.la
libc-client.la      libcrypto.so.300.1  libnbcompat.a
libc-client_pic.a   libiconv.a          libssl.a
libcharset.a        libiconv.la         libssl.so
libcharset.la       libimapuw.a         libssl.so.300
libcrypto.a         libimapuw.la        libssl.so.300.1
libcrypto.so        libltdl.a

I am missing: /usr/pkg/lib/libiconv.so.4.0, /usr/pkg/lib/libltdl.so.3.0,
/usr/pkg/lib/libimapuw.so.4.1 /usr/pkg/lib/libc-client.so.4.1, and several
others.

I am guessing this is something related.

Configuring libiconv said:
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no

Configuring libtool-base said:
checking whether the linker (ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... no
checking dynamic linker characteristics... no
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -p output... ok
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
checking whether to build shared libraries... no


I am looking at the configure and ltconfig scripts to see why
$can_build_shared is no.

It is several hours past my bed time. If anyone has any suggestions where
to look, I'd appreciate it.

p.s. I had to patch imap-uw so it would use target "bs3" because "neb"
wanted -lcrypt which doesn't exist.
