Oh, yes, you're right.  In fact I don't build openjade-native
routinely, but a bit of git archaeology reveals that I do have the
following patch in my tree as well.

Subject: [PATCH] openjade: Fix build if not installing the libtool-garbage

The openjade build system is slightly funky and does strange things with
library dependencies.  Fix it up so that it depends on the .so rather than
the .la (which may not exist) for libraries from the sysroot.
