That's not the problem. The problem is that: - we think we cannot put all libraries in LIBS. Therefore... - we put certain libraries in FOO_LIBS which is then not "seen" by the rest of the "configure" process, so any functions that we search for that could/should be found in FOO_LIBS are not found because configure searches only LIBS. So I think I need a way to tell AC_CHECK_FUNCS that it should check LIBS and FOO_LIBS and any other "separated" library sets that I come up with.
