@code{LDFLAGS}, and @code{LIBS} when compiling.
A few systems have linkers that do not return a failure exit status when
there are unresolved functions in the link. This bug makes the
configuration scripts produced by Autoconf unusable on those systems.
However, some of them can be given options that make the exit status
correct. This is a problem that Autoconf does not currently address.
