I was actually unaware of the LIBS variable and was using only LDFLAGS 
for both specifying library paths and libraries.

As a side note, apologies, Eric and List, for my duplicate queries 
(duplicate is 'Invocation of compiler by AC_LINK_IFELSE').  I'd sent my 
original query to address@hidden (as per instructed on the autoconf 
page on the GNU website) but thought it hadn't gone through as lately 
I've been having internet connectivity issues; and so after slightly 
reworking my original email I re-posted via Gmane.

Again, apologies and many thanks to all who've contributed enlightenment!
