Only static linking is fairly reliable in failing with forgotten other
libraries. OK?
Thanks,

Fix description of AC_CHECK_LIB regarding other deplibs.
* doc/autoconf.texi (Libraries): Library linking may not fail
even without missing additional libs.

If linking with @var{library} results in unresolved symbols that would
