I'm building developtment versions of GTK+ and GIMP which come with
ltconfig and ltmain.sh version 1.2b.  GTK+ 1.1 is actually trying to
use the $release tag on its libraries, which exposes a bug in the freebsd
2.2 support.  A link named `libfoo.so' is not used by the system at all.
All shared libraries have a version suffix.  To install `libgtk-1.1.so.2.0'
and make `-lgtk' work, the link must be named `libgtk.so.2.0':

  library_names_spec='${libname}${release}.so$versuffix $libname.so$versuffix'
