++# Both libsyslog_la and syslogd/logger requires objects like lib/pidfile.o, for
++# libsyslog_la, the objects should be compiled with -fPIC, but for
++# syslogd/logger, it doesn't need -fPIC, so there is a race issue when the two
++# different lib/pidfile.o are compiled at the same time, which would cause errors like:
++# ld: syslogd-syslogd.o: in function `main':
++# syslogd.c:417: undefined reference to `__pidfile'
++#
++# Make LIBOBJS depend on LTLIBOBJS to fix the problem.
