I have not inspected your configure script, but I believe that the 
right approach is to explicitly append -lrt to the LIBS shell variable 
as soon as you learn that it is needed.  This will cause -lrt to be 
applied to all subsequent tests.  Without appending to LIBS, the 
configure tests will only test what was explicitly requested by the 
macro arguments.  The configure script should be ordered to test the 
broadest dependency libraries (the ones that other libraries may also 
depend on) first before drilling down to test more specific 
dependencies.  A good example of a "broad" dependency library is libz.
