Dear autoconf and make users, The status of the LIBS and LDLIBS variables is unclear to me. Do both of them have a conventional meanings, or are they just alternatives for the same thing, namely giving libraries that should be passed to the ld linker? ./configure --help refers to LIBS but in make's manual it's LDLIBS which is mentionned and the GNU coding standard at https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/index.html does not help... Thanks in advance for any advice, Sébastien.
