AM_LDFLAGS = -lmhash
A library is not a linker flag so it does not belong in LDFLAGS. Look
into using a 'LIBADD' type option instead.
This problem seems to be a 'feature' of gcc because the same error

when compiling by manual commands.
What must I do please?
LIBS are not flags. Take care to specify libraries where libraries are
supposed to go.
Just stepping back a bit, some linkers are more tolerant than others
about the order of flags and such. Libraries that land in standard
locations like /usr/lib also obscure this issue, by rendering irrelevant
an improperly-placed or -constructed -L flag.
Because of this, you will find a fair number of bad Makefile.am examples
out in the wild. You don't find out that you've been emulating one of
these bad examples until you try your package on a system with a
stricter linker or one that places libraries you need in odd places.
