Yes.  When auto* tests for a function in a library, it builds a small
test program (which it links) to do this.  If the CFLAGS or LDFLAGS env
var have been set during th auto* script, they are involved in this. 
Probably another library is causing the problem.  Check config.log to
see if you can figure out what library is not being linked properly.
