I don't think your issue has to do with automake at all; it rather looks like a GCC issue. I can't tell if all you need is to use '-Wl,' or if there is some limitation in the gcc driver that you need to work around. > I can do away with the nostdlib option, but that causes undesired libraries > to be linked in (which is bad). Maybe --as-needed helps you (see the gnulib module lib-ignore for how to use it portably). Hope that helps. Cheers, Ralf
