David,

The --libdir directive should define the -L compiler options.
Usually the all the libs are in /usr/local/lib or /lib but when you
cross compile projects the libs will be in a directory such as
/opt/mips_dev/lib. The configure scripts produce a Makefile
with hard coded -L directives as a mater of fact they way they
are hard coded it may even prove to be a problem when doing
a native compile. Autoconf should magically put the correct
-L directive in an environment variable. My experience with
autoconf is a bit old and my attack plan was to take the example
recipe file and fiddle with it until it works. :-)
