Package: autoconf Version: 2.53 When testing for the existance of functions in libraries, the LIBS variable is located after the LDFLAGS variable. I was wondering if it would make more sense to always put the LDFLAGS variable at the end. Currently: ac_link='$CC -o conftest$ac_exeext $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS >&5' Suggested: ac_link='$CC -o conftest$ac_exeext $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext $LIBS $LDFLAGS >&5' The reason for this is some LDFLAGS (such as "-lc" required for uclinux) have to be at the end of the line. I tried setting the LIBS variable to "-lc" on the command line (while removing it from the LDFLAGS variable) and that worked for the initial configure but failed if I did ./config-status --recheck because the LIBS varible was not saved and re-set (though CFLAGS and LDFLAGS were).
