Autotools/libtool being broken then, the DEPENDS change might appear to
help but it doesn't, only way to deal with it is either the change below
or to clean the recipe in question.

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta-yocto?id=9e366e153234114ab3c51e4bb8e3452593f64070

It was was made opt in since people didn't want it as the default. I've
made it the default for poky as I believe its a good thing and helps
cases like this.

The only downside is that to change to this you need a clean build
directory as autotools throws a fit about this change when you re-run
configure on an existing directory. Nothing we can do about that one,
its autotools :(.
