    ltmain.in: defer warn dependency to static library
    
    When linking old library to any libtool target that is not an
    executable, libtool warns that it might not be portable, in particular
    because shared libraries need PIC from the static library to be working.
    
    However, when adding an old library as dependency to a static libtool
    library, there is no linkage, and thus no portability issue, so there's
    no reason to warn. If the static libtool library is then linked to a
    shared library, the dependency will be forwarded and the warning will
    happen at this time.
