I am not sure what OS you are using but on most systems -lrt brings in 
the library for the POSIX .4 Real Time extensions ("rt" == "Real 
Time").  This is needed for things like POSIX message queues, POSIX 
memory mapping, and nanosleep().  Using this library should not impose 
a requirement for main() in a shared library.  A requirement for 
main() would imply that libtool was attempting to link a program 
rather than a library.
