Re: [Autogen-users] autogen 5.16 does not build anymore with LDFLAGS="-Wl, -z, relro -Wl, --as-needed"

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for looking into it so deeply.  This has been broken for at
least 8 years.
My recent change brought it to the fore.  That ldflags computation
looks like something
someone else suggested, for use in autoopts-config.

The correct thing for defs.in is to use it, but the value must be correct.
AG_TEST_LDFLAGS will now emit '-Wl,-R${libdir}' as its result, when
'-Wl,-R' should be used at all.  My config.status now has this line:

> S["AG_LDFLAGS"]="-Wl,-R${libdir}"

Thank you for the bug report.
