Bug 2978

While building wv 1.0.0, libtool is invoked as such:

/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc  -pipe -Wall -O3 -march=i686 -ansi   -o
libwv.la -rpath /usr/lib -version-info 0:0:0 -release 1.0 -export-dynamic

Libtool 1.5 (libtool_1.5-1.5-alt7) invokes gcc as follows:

Note the omission of the .so suffix. Libtool 1.4, when used in the same build,
doesn't drop the suffix.
