[Xen-devel] [PATCH v2 3/4] m4/python: fix checks for Python library support

[Doug Goldstein <cardoe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

AC_CHECK_LIB() was running gcc -Llib -lm -lutils conftest.c which on
platforms that do as needed operations by default will result in
underlinking. Instead AC_CHECK_LIB() suggests supplying the extra
libraries necessary in a 5th argument.
