Bug#178002: mklibs: Fail to handle .so files

[Petter Reinholdtsen <pere@hungry.com>]

Package: mklibs
Version: 0.1.8
Severity: important

I'm trying to make debian-installer boot floppies with the slang
cdebconf frontend.  When I run mklibs on a single .so file, the slang
or text frontend for cdebconf, it fails in a loop like this:

  debian-installer/build# mklibs -v -v --ldlib \
    ld-linux.so.2 -d ./tmp/cdrom144/tree/lib \
    tmp/cdrom144/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/slang.so
  tmp/cdrom144/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/slang.so is a library
  I: library reduction pass 1
  Objects:
  Still need: sys_siglist
  1 symbols, 1 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 2
  Objects:
  Still need: sys_siglist
  1 symbols, 1 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 3
  Objects:
  Still need: sys_siglist
  1 symbols, 1 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 4
  Objects:
  Still need: sys_siglist
  1 symbols, 1 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 5
  Objects:
  Still need: sys_siglist
  1 symbols, 1 unresolved
  I: library reduction pass 6

Without the ldlib entry, it fails in another way:

  debian-installer/build# mklibs -v -v -d ./tmp/cdrom144/tree/lib \
    tmp/cdrom144/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/slang.so
  tmp/cdrom144/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/slang.so is a library
  E: Dynamic linker not found, aborting.

This problem make it hard to use the slang frontend in cdebconf, as
the slang library isn't installed in the boot floppy.
