The --with-braille-driver=xw,-all configure option is instructing the build to 
link the xw braille driver right into the executable and to not build any other 
braille drivers. /lib/brltty/ isn't being created, therefore, because there's 
nothing to put in it.

No. The way you're configuring, the new .o file is included when linking the 
executable.
