install broken?

From the rhug source tree:

$ mkdir build; cd build; ../configure --prefix=/opt/rhug && make

...wait a LONG time...

$ make install
...

Indeed, the library archive is missing, though the DSO appeared to build
just fine.

Does anyone else see this?  What might I have done wrong?

For some reason libtool does not want to build static libraries.

We're all just configuring with --disable-static.

I realize this is lame, but every time I look at libtool I get so
discouraged I just give up.  I've been struggling with libtool on a
completely different project recently.  It's very frustrating.

This hack seems to work.  I think some things are simply missing in the
GCJ tag configuration.  Linking with --tag=CXX also works.

(The comments in aclocal.m4 suggest it is a generated file, but generated
from what?  I don't really get all this autoconf/libtool stuff.)
