when compiling on embedded, tdb does not seem to find support for dynamic libraries in libtool. This is some lines from output: checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking for /usr/i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r checking dynamic linker characteristics... no checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no checking whether to build shared libraries... no checking whether to build static libraries... yes ... No .so files are installed.
fixed in cvs, thanks for the report
