its not broken it, it works (almost) as it should. If thats not how fltk 
upstream does it, upstream is doing it wrong.
--ldflags [0] should report the flags required to link with the shared library, 
and it does this:

> fltk-config  --ldflags 
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -lfltk

any more libraries are pointless and just needlessly clutter the dt-
needed section if not linked with --as-needed.

to get the x11 libaries use the tool x11 provides not fltk's (e.g. pkg-
config --libs x11)

to statically link against fltk use --ldstaticflags which also gives you
x11, but that should not be the primary mean of your program to get the
x11 flags...

[0]  actually it should be --libs, but it has a different meaning with
this tool
