Given a Makefile.am with

        myprog_LDADD = -pthread

automake will correctly output this warning

        Makefile.am:17: error: linker flags such as '-pthread' 
        belong in 'myprog_LDFLAGS'

It would be nice to also have automake report -l flags in LDFLAGS that 
actually belong into LIBADD/LDADD:

        myprog_LDFLAGS = -ldl

is currently silently allowed, but is known to cause problems:
