You wouldn't. This is totally out of the scope of libtool. Libtool
is about linking with libraries, not compiling source files so that
they can be linked with them. Not that it couldn't be extended so as
to record user-directed flags at the time of creation of a library.
But what should it do when a library is linked with other libraries?
Should it merge the recorded flags with those of the dependence
libraries, or record just what the user specified?

I like this. We've needed for quite some time an interface to query
libtool files so that people didn't have to break abstraction layers
to get it.
