I've removed that now. Still happens.
However I think this could be a bug in libtool (from RHEL 5).
Here is the linking rule in gnulib/tests/Makefile.am:
test_futimens_LDADD = $(LDADD) $(LIB_CLOCK_GETTIME)
LDADD is defined as:
LDADD = libtests.a ../../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la libtests.a $(LIBTESTS_LIBDEPS)
^^ NB ^^
Here is the final command that gets executed:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o test-futimens
test-futimens.o libtests.a ../../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la libtests.a -lrt
gcc -g -O2 -o test-futimens test-futimens.o ../../gnulib/lib/.libs/libgnu.a
libtests.a -lrt
Notice that the first 'libtests.a' is erased by libtool. If my
understanding is correct, it is the first 'libtests.a' which would
resolve this missing dependency.
