I have not said, that this workaround is a general patch
usable
in all situations. Because KDE does create only dll's this
was okay for me.
Dannys patch is of course the beest solution, but it
requires
some (as I recognized after reviews this patch) deeply
changes of the
libtool implementation, which isn't not easy. :-(
