What should I be doing? Thanks.
Override FCLD (if Makefile-global is acceptable) or libtest_la_LINK. I've been wanting to let automake choose the linker based on the set of source files known at config.status time too, but I don't currently see how to do this without breaking backward compatibility (or introducing another automake option). The current behavior is used as a feature by several packages. Cheers, Ralf
