# Clear dependency_libs in libtool files for shared libraries.

# Shared libraries already encode their dependencies with locations.  .la
# files do not always encode those locations, and sometimes encode the
# locations in the wrong Nix output. .la files are not needed for shared
# libraries, but without dependency_libs they do not hurt either.
