Linking the shared library FOO.la against the loadable module

[Neil Williams]

Just revisiting this:
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-devel/2005-July/013366.html

This turns out to be one of the problems getting CVS GnuCash to compile on 
MacOSX. So whereas it's only a warning on GNU/Linux, it halts the build on 
OSX.

The fix is to remove LDFLAGS=-module line in the Makefile.am's in these 
folders:

src/app-utils/
src/core-utils/
src/gnc-module/
src/gnc-module/test/*
src/engine/
src/backend/file
src/network-utils/
src/network-utils/test/
src/tax/us/

Where LDFLAGS is also used for GWRAP, just removing the -module prefix from 
the line is sufficient.

Followed by a make clean before make.

From other projects, this appears to crop up if you move from LDFLAGS to 
DYNAMIC_FLAG - could that be the problem?

I can find few references to what LDFLAGS=-module actually does, except this 
one:

This is mainly used for Mac OSX where there is a distinction between 
modules (.so) and shared libraries (.dylib).  Modules on OSX can link to 
libraries but nothing can link to modules.  They are meant for plugins.

Seems strange to me.

Any clues as to what's going on?
