Is libamar actually a module, and not a library? (albeit done badly,
as it's a symlink)  If so, then INSANE_SKIP_${PN} += "dev-so" is the
right way to skip that test.  This may be a bug in amanda which
everyone else has been ignoring.

I've not actually used the SDK but they should be mostly the same,
yes.  Differences are bound to be of interest so please do report
them.
