  That's not good.

  Do the installed modules have references to 'freeradius-buildroot'
in them?  Try doing "strings".

  No, it's more libtool crap.

  When you tell libtool to build dynamic library, it doesn't.  It
builds shell scripts that determine how to link to the dynamic library
from inside of the build tree.  libtool creates the dynamic library
when you *install* it, hence the "relink" complaint.

  And since the /tmp/freeradius-buildroot isn't in the ld search path,
it can't find -lradius.

  As you noted, adding -L... helps.  I'm not sure how to do this with
libtool, because it's "install" stage doesn't accept linker options,
even though it's actually doing linking.

  Did I mention I hated that PoS?

  Maybe setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running libtool --install will work?
