This produces a libutil.so.1 as well, right?
I think we should still prevent that. It's not clear to me what the
proper approach would be, though. We have a bunch of existing
examples: libmcheck.a, libg.a. But those do not use the usual library
mechanism AFAICS.
Maybe this will work?
libutil-inhibit-o = $(filter-out .o,$(object-suffixes))
And do not set libutil-routines and libutil-shared-only-routines for
new architectures.
