I looked through the package and I found that there was a utility
library in there that didn't have the same AM_LDFLAGS definition as all

The problem was only appearing much later in the build unfortunately,
when building the test binary, but it is fixed now.

Can anything be done to make this type of thing easier to diagnose?
