On first build, everything is fine. So, if you package EBG (one time
build and package) you'll get a statically linked bg_setenv and it's
fine. If you start developing and doing iterative builds, the then 2nd
and following builds is where libtool interferes.
So I do not see an urgent need to rush out a 0.9.1, yet.

I still have to investigate Michael's Nix issue to sort it out thoroughly.
On Bullseye and Arch the above patch fixes the issue as he has confirmed.

So, we can put this to -next to meanwhile fix iterative development builds
and wait for my Nix findings.

What do you think?



Kind regards,
   Christian
