This looks more like a libtool issue, possibly introduced by the recent
libtool changes. I think this happens in an incremental build when you
have half a sysroot of "old" style libs and mix in the new style. I
suspect Scott mainly tested those from scratch. Does a cleanall of
pango/cairo fix this? If so, we probably need to bump the version number
that governs sysroots (and the sstate version number too).

Cheers,

Richard
