The funny thing is that this has already come up at least once.  I ran
into this on an out-of-box IRIX system, and Lee Iverson gave me an easy
solution in the last paragraph:

Of course, I don't know what has changed since early December.  His LIBS=
solution should still work, but I can't speak for the autoconf solution.
