Another solution is to put
AM_LDFLAGS = -no-install
in the Makefile.am of your self-test directory, so libtool will not
build wrappers for them.
I have not seen any negative effects of doing this, and it helps
significantly with issues like this (especially for running gdb).
Vincent, Bruno, if you can think of ways of making the situation better
even for projects that use libtool wrappers of self-tests, then let's do
that too -- I'm just mentioning that -no-install may be a solution.
`-no-install'
Link an executable OUTPUT-FILE that can't be installed and
therefore doesn't need a wrapper script on systems that allow
hardcoding of library paths. Useful if the program is only used
in the build tree, e.g., for testing or generating other files.
