OK, thats good at least.  Not sure if we will be able to get shared
libraries working under OS/2 with current libtool.  Unfortunetly, I'm
driving blind trying to debug libtool without access to OS/2 myself.
Mostly, I'm running in to dead ends.

I think if you add --disable-dependency-tracking to your configure options
that this may go away.  Looks like your compiler may not correctly support
the -MF option?  Or a directory named .deps?  Dunno exactly.

There is a chance this will be fixed once I get to the point of converting
frontend/Makefile to automake (soon).  I'm not sure we are currently linking
in *.la versions of all libraries everywhere which is required to give
libtool hints to link in these external libraries on platforms that have
inter-library dependency issues (OS/2, windows, etc).
