There was a reason why I added the libraries to the LDDFLAGS, but I 
cannot remember.
I am using these option for several years by now.
I agree with you, the -L./.libs needs to come before the LDDFLAGS.
I just am unable to understand the logic of the .in / .am and Makefiles 
to find the proper solution.
The option -L./.libs is added during configure and in my understanding 
it should be added before any LDDFLAGS.
