Sure. I'm aware of the intentions behind the idea of the

Thanks! Works fine for me, but after doing this I have a reference to
/foo/bar" in the resulting library, which is a problem for SuSE
builds.

 ERROR: /usr/lib/libX11.so.6.2.1 contains /var/tmp/xorg-modular-050528-build

Any ideas how to get rid of this reference in the library?
