https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2892273&group_id=290&atid=300290 Depending on configure arguments libmp3lame may be built only as a shared library. But lame frntends link command using this library has -static. Such clash may cause ugly libtool behavior. In context of lame, linking should probably respect configure flags and link frontend dynamically if shared linking is enabled. As a consequence of bug in libtool, this combination with --disable-static may create incorrect binary.
