This really is a problem with libtool. It currently does not provide
a means to _force_ generating both .o and .lo files, which is
necessary for SANE as some files are used both as shared objects (in
libsane*.so) and as normal objects (in the frontends).

If libtool gets fixed, it would be easy to make SANE work with
--disable-static.
