>Description:

The ImageMagick pkg uses -R with cc, which does not work on 1.3.x based
ELF systems.

>How-To-Repeat:

Compile on NetBSD/alpha or NetBSD/pmax 1.3.x.

>Fix:

Change macros to use -Wl,-R${PREFIX}/lib with cc, or better yet inherit
${LDFLAGS} from make's environment.

Matthias (tron) has noted thatsome of the same macros are used with `ld'
when linking some shared objects.  If that is the case, the macro
expansions do need to be modified to use different macros for cc and ld.
