It's linked to the main page as "Jemboss and other Interfaces"

install and libtool have some curious interactions. With shared 
libraries turned off, I can do:

cd emboss
make myprogram
cp myprogram /where/emboss/binaries/live

With shared libraries on, libtool has to run scripts to do the install, 
and timestamp checking becomes tricky.

Hope this helps. No doubt a more authoritative reply from our "make" 
experts will follow.
