I guess in my haste I was not clear enough :-)
my problem is the dependency,
in particular, it’s a pam module, that needs a local library. in the past the library was compiled first, and then the module,
now it still happens, but the module does not find the library, which has been compiled! there is a new piece of mail that
i’m missing :-( 
i’ll try again with LOCAL_DIRS.
thanks
