Thanks Jeremy! I checked with `nm` and on this platform, at least, the
lmtp code seems not to make it into the final executable. So the
linker does its job, and all is explained. The redundant compile is
still a bit suboptimal but I understand that we don't want to mess
with the build setup.
I would probably do the %Y thing differently ... but I'll cope.
