When libtool encouters an error about a missing library (for example,
if a .la refers to a file which is not found), it would be good to
give more explicit errors.
In my case, it was a problem of nested dependencies; the error was
not due to $lib (the dependency of the dependency) but too $name (the
dependency) which had been compiled when $lib was in another
directory; so the solution was to rebuild $name not $lib.
Here is a patch giving a message with $name and $laname:

Here is a patch that also updates the 'not a libtool archive' messages.
It has proved rather useful and helped me debugging dependencies of
dependencies problems.
