When compiling devel/ncurses on IRIX 5.3 I get a lot of warnings of the
following kind:

The shared object ../lib/.libs/libmenu.so did not resolve any symbols.
        You may want to remove it from your link line.
The shared object ../lib/.libs/libpanel.so did not resolve any symbols.
        You may want to remove it from your link line.

It appears that these libs are linked unnecessarily.
This also happens for libgen, libm.
One can, for example, savely delete all occurences of -lgen, -lpanel,
and -lmenu (which means that they should not occur in the first place).

Is there a feasable way to make configure use only the libs actually
required?
