well, libsyslog-ng.so is a private library, and the reason it needs to be dynamic, is that non-Linux platforms do not always allow sharing symbols back to
modules from the main executable.

I played a lot of this issue, and this was the solution that worked everywhere. The problematic platform was by the way AIX.

So libsyslog-ng.so could and probably should be shoved in $prefix/lib/syslog-ng, at least in case mixed linking is used.

In case mixed linking is not used, it is properly linked against all its dependencies.
