As the comment says:

  dnl AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_FROM_LIBS is defined in gnulib/m4/lib-link.m4 and needs
  dnl the file gnulib/build-aux/config.rpath.

This means that these two files have to be imported in your project for
this to work.

I hadn’t noticed that, and I reckon that this is unfortunate.

The change dates back to Feb. 2011, by Bruno, so we’d have to check the
rationale.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
