If you type “make” at the top-level things get built in the right order,
so you shouldn’t get this message.

If you --disable-shared you’ll get this message because we don’t
currently do the right Libtool magic to make static builds work.

I can live without it, FWIW, but if others want it, I won’t oppose to it.
