The Autoconf manual is pretty good. ``info Autoconf''

Try this patch. I haven't tested it, and it probably isn't the best solution,
but it may well do the job for you. After applying it, regenerate ``configure''
using ``autoconf''.
I have a sinking feeling that the C library in Mac OS X was called something
exotic, like "System" (libSystem.dylib). If that's the case, you may need to
use something like that instead of "c".
