Bugzilla Bug 61912

The shared-library test now fails, due to the $(get_libdir) function, so the
library is only merged in static form.  Executing the configure step with a
hardcoded /lib works just fine.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge zlib

Actual Results:  
zlib emerges "successfully", but there's no libz.so.1.2.1!  emerging using 
ebuild (so as not to clean the tmpdir) results in no binary created.  The 
portage log says the shared-libs test fails. 

Expected Results:  
The .so binary should have been created, and transfered to the system.  In the 
event the binary was NOT created, ideally, the install should have produced an 
error, and the qmerge step should not have completed, so the old library would 
still be on the system. 

Again, using ebuild to keep the tmpdir, then running the configure command 
manually with a hardcoded /lib path works just fine.  Running make after that 
produced the shared object binary, which was installed and qmerged properly 
with an ebuild merge.

I don't think $(get_libdir) is to blame... Look at BUG #61868

...it was failing before i made the change, thanks. i made the change in an
attempt to fix the problem
