 Nope. Configure test succeeds with empty -L because it doesn't use libtool 
 (wrapper).

 Yes, it's coming from libtool. Actually it's even "better" - the problem 
 is libtool wrapper used by pkgsrc. If /usr/pkg/bin/libtool is used 
 directly, linking succeeds. But because I've never understood logic/magic 
 behind this wrapper, I keep myself away from it.
