That is interesting; FINAL_NOTMUCH_LDFLAGS is defined as

FINAL_NOTMUCH_LDFLAGS = $(LDFLAGS) -Lutil -lutil -Llib -lnotmuch ...

(and, in my linux environment LDFLAGS is defined as empty string)

In ./lib we have libnotmuch.a & libnotmuch.so but in ./util we (only)
have libutil.a -- for some reason OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) gcc (4.2.x IIRC)
doesn't use the static library ?

Well, IMO having that util/libutil.a there is a tolerable workaround to get
notmuch 0.16 available in OSX 10.6...
