Yes, indeed.

If I add -rpath-link, it does indeed work. However, what I don't
understand is why the -R flag that is in the dependency_libs in
libhwm_net.la does not appear in the command line above. Libtool
appears to be stripping it out, and I can't figure out why. I probably
should ask over on their list.

Thanks for the help!
