You're likely linking with the installed version, not the one
you just built.

use -l... only for system libraries
spell out the actual filename for you own libraries
use LDADD (not LDFLAGS) to specify libraries a program should link against

AM_CXXFLAGS = -D_REENTRANT -Wall
AM_LDFLAGS = -pthread 
LDADD = libdconn.a -lz

lib_LIBRARIES = libdconn.a
libdconn_a_SOURCES = ...

noinst_PROGRAMS = udpclient
udpclient_SOURCES = ...
