That's what I'm doing all the time when developing and testing, or
fixing bugs in skalibs that impact other software. But it's probably
only useful to me in this case. :)
The other reason why I like vpath search is that it allows the
the user to explicitly specify linking against static or dynamic
libraries. Without vpath, the user has no way of saying, for
instance, "link against libskarnet.a but libc.so" if libskarnet.so
is installed, because -lskarnet will default to libskarnet.so
unless gcc -static is used.

Ah, I see.
Would replacing "libexecline.so" in packages/deps.mak and
"lib%.so" in Makefile with "./libexecline.so", resp. "./lib%.so",
fix this ?
