And I thought I knew nothing about the way linkers work!  I had believed that, 
but noticed that kopeteprefs.lo is only 88 bytes and I don't believe gcc 3.3 
is that efficient - so I got curious:

n9715321@sneer:~/projects/kde/build/kdenetwork/kopete/libkopete/private> cat 
kopeteprefs.lo
# Generated by libtool replacement
pic_object='.libs/kopeteprefs.o'
non_pic_object=none	

I still don't know how it works, but I've got .libs/kopeteprefs.o full of 
object code, so I expect Andreas should have as well.
