[autoconf-lib-link] AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS produces a non-running Wget on AIX 5.1

[Hrvoje Niksic]

[ This is a report for autoconf-lib-link, not for gettext itself. ]

Here is an excerpt from the report by a Wget tester trying to link
Wget with shared OpenSSL libraries (linking with static ones worked).
He used configure --prefix=/usr/local/contrib to build Wget, which is
also where the OpenSSL libs reside.  The result was:

...
checking for dlopen in -ldl... yes
checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no
checking for shared library run path origin... done
checking for libssl... yes
checking how to link with libssl... /usr/local/contrib/lib/libssl.so 
/usr/local/contrib/lib/libcrypto.so
configure: compiling in support for SSL
...

"make" produces a wget binary but using a "https://"-URL I got the error

exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program wget because of the following errors:
         0509-022 Cannot load module /usr/local/contrib/lib/libssl.so.
         0509-150   Dependent module libcrypto.so could not be loaded.
         0509-022 Cannot load module libcrypto.so.
         0509-026 System error: A file or directory in the path name does
                  not exist.

Although the lib exists:

-rw-r--r--   1 pdadm    pdadm       2710603 Jun 25 16:30
  /usr/local/contrib/lib/libcrypto.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 pdadm    pdadm            14 Jun 25 16:30
  /usr/local/contrib/lib/libcrypto.so -> libcrypto.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 pdadm    pdadm            18 Jun 25 16:30
  /usr/local/contrib/lib/libcrypto.so.0 -> libcrypto.so.0.9.7
-r-xr-xr-x   1 pdadm    pdadm       2616413 Jun 25 16:30
  /usr/local/contrib/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7


What baffles me about this error is that libssl.so is apparently
located by the runtime linker, but libcrypto is not, although they are
in the same directory.
