I really can't see any reason why it should be doing that, specially if you're already using libtool. I suggest you either don't call AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS or get AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS fixed not to do that. AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS seems to be in /usr/share/aclocal/lib-link.m4 which is part of gettext.
