Actually, on Solaris at least, LD_LIBRARY_PATH *is* used to find shared libraries to link against. It's been something we have particularly had to guard against, since some older versions of thirdparty libraries we use have been installed in /usr/lib and it has corrupted our builds. In fact, LD_LIBRARY_PATH seems to supercede the paths specified with -L flags.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH has no significance to the linker for finding the libraries to be linked in. This has nothing to do with autoconf anyway. If you need to add special directories for finding libraries pass "LDFLAGS=-L/your/special/dir" to the configure script.
