Even worse -- the dynamic linker doesn't find them even when they're
in the *standard* (default) places such as /usr/local/lib.

Right.

Fully agreed. In fact, you will notice that the loop first tries to
be civil and play by the rules. If that fails, and it *does* fail on
Solaris, then it goes to look in special directories. Your
cross-compiling hack could simply convince AC_TRY_RUN that everything
is fine.

Thanks. If you understand how the caching thing works, could you
please take a look at this... I am calling AC_CHECK_LIB in a loop,
but caching breaks that. So what I do is manually unset the caching
variables. This is dirty, but it "works".
Is there a nicer way to temporarily disable caching?
