There still seems to be a problems with configure's caching.  I just ran
the following sequence (but on lynx2.7.1ac-0.63)

 make distclean
 CFLAGS="-g -DLYNXCGI_LINKS" ./configure --enable-debug --enable-warnings \
                                         --prefix=$HOME
 make
 # make does its thing successfully
 #
 # note no 'make clean' here, then:
 #
 CFLAGS="-g -DLYNXCGI_LINKS" ./configure --enable-debug --enable-warnings \
                                         --prefix=$HOME
 make
 # make only tries to do again the linking stage, but without the libs,
 # and fails.

(Running configure again after removing config.cache clears things up.)

The relevant diff between the output (tee'd) of the two configure runs
seems to be:

-checking for working const... yes
-checking for gethostname... no
-checking for gethostname in -lnsl... yes
-checking for -linet... no
-checking for socket... no
-checking for socket in -lsocket... yes
-checking for gethostbyname... no
-checking for gethostbyname in -lnsl... yes
-checking for strcasecmp... yes
-checking for screen type... curses
+checking for working const... (cached) yes
+checking for gethostname... (cached) yes
+checking for -linet... (cached) no
+checking for socket... (cached) yes
+checking for gethostbyname... (cached) yes
+checking for strcasecmp... (cached) yes
+checking for screen type... (cached) curses
