I've been blaming the linker for this, but it might really be g_module_open()'s fault. It uses dl_open so the libtool .la magic doesn't work. That goes double if there's an rpath to the dependency. It seems less of a problem with the cmake build because the latter does a non-recursive build, putting all of the shared libraries into a single directory instead of leaving them in their source-mirror locations. It may also set up the environment correctly so that the dynamic linker looks in that directory first instead of the installation directory. Note that Geert discovered a problem with too much parallelism in building a couple of weeks ago, so we need to specify the dependency tree a bit more completely to cmake.
