[Libguestfs] [hivexml] Relinking warning and shared library error (was: Re: [Hivex] [PATCH v3] Report last-modified time of hive root and nodes)

Hi Richard, all,
The modifications make sense. I'm happier with the nested if tests instead of the gotos. Thank you.
I noticed while I was producing the patch that I had to have the filetime_to_8601 in xml/hivexml.c due to a linking error. I would've liked to have the function in lib/hivex.c, but I hit a strange linking error when I had the function and its prototype placed as in the patch below. It's strange because the extern doesn't appear to be in a strange place, and there is no static restriction on the function definition, so the function seems to me like it should behave like any of the other API functions. Could it be a linking eror against an old library? The last few lines of `make V=1` in a Fedora 15 VM are:

I think I've found a related issue while trying to get hivexml running from the GIt source on a fresh Ubuntu 11.04 VM. I asked about the linking error because Ubuntu warns about relinking, though it did compile (without the below patch moving filetime_to_8601 around).
Environment: Completely new virtual machine, with this command ran for dependencies:
sudo apt-get install git libtool autopoint ocaml autoconf libxml2-dev python-dev
To build, I cd'd into the git-clone'd directory and ran:
./autogen.sh && make V=1 && sudo make install
At the 'sudo make install' phase, this warning appeared:
libtool: install: warning: relinking 'libhivexmod.la'
The relinking warning remained after running 'sudo make uninstall' and 'make clean' in succession, and even removing the cloned folder and starting over again.
Also, running hivexml raised this error:
hivexml: error while loading shared libraries: libhivex.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I needed this line in my ~/.bashrc to get the shared library working:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
If that's a complaint about Ubuntu in general, though, than I guess it's not a problem for a Redhat mailing list.
