Thanks all. For now I don't know much about libtool, but my personal workaround is to build those problematic executables with -static option by hand. I've read about this on mysql page or something, found somebody wrote that he built mysql with shared disabled, but this workaround has a problem to me. I want to build php-4 or php-5 with mysql and apache2 (somehow openbsd comes with apache-1.3.xx) and if mysql is built with shared library disabled, php isn't built with libphp4.so/libphp5.so
required for apache. So I need to build mysql with shared library enabled, and link some executables with -static option. Now I am wondering which *BSD I should use...FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD....I wonder why it works with FreeBSD while it doesn't with OpenBSD. Does FreeBSD do any tricks with libtool? I am thinking of using ports, but usually ports.tar.gz is out of date...

Now I have another question; When I build php-4.3.10(oh, now the latest one is 4.3.11) or php-5.0.3, it creates libphp4.so or libphp5.so as an apache module, and at first it *seems* to work with apache. However after rebooting OpenBSD, apache won't launch....I mean "apachectl start" won't complain, but httpd's aren't running. What's the problem? If I remove "Loadmodule modules/libphp4.so" in conf/httpd.conf, apache runs normally.....and it doesn't happen with FreeBSD.

If these problems have gone, I am thinking of using OpenBSD...

Thanks in advance.
