 # Import libraries are created by the rules creating shared libraries.
 # The rules to copy them to $(DIST)/lib depend on $(IMPORT_LIBRARY),
 # but make will happily consider the import library before it is refreshed
 # when rebuilding the corresponding shared library. Defining an empty recipe
 # for import libraries forces make to wait for the shared library recipe to
 # have run before considering other targets that depend on the import library.
