How did you guess? I am trying to build gtk+ and find that dependencies
and rpaths are missing. PATH_XTRA was one. A LDADDS in one of the gtk+
Makefile.ams is the other problem - LDADDS although set correctly isn't
used anywhere - the author probably thought it was the equivalent
to AM_LDFLAGS, but that is for another list...
