Correct, this is normal if you build without installing XORP and is 
standard libtool behaviour.

Perhaps being built from OE is a factor.

To be honest, I found OE highly Linux specific and its overall source 
tree structure was non-intuitive. But if it works for you, great. I 
can't advise on OE further.

I assume you're using a different libc, e.g. uclibc. That is probably 
the key observation.

I'm afraid I am unable to help you further, this is not a configuration 
which I use or which is in use by the commercial product. fingers 
crossed other users can help.
