lib-link.m4: AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_BODY: --without-libFOO-prefix?

What is the point of this configure parameter?

I understand that --with-libFOO-prefix is used to set the prefix that
make the macro search in $prefix/include and $prefix/lib to find
libFOO.

Specifically, what is the difference between not supplying
--without-libFOO-prefix and supplying it?

If the semantic is that the macro doesn't search for the library at
all if --without-libFOO-prefix is specified, I think it should be
renamed to --without-libFOO.  It is not the prefix you do without, it
is the entire library.

Further, does this macro handle 64-bit libraries in $prefix/lib64?

Thanks,
Simon
