I found some interesting discussion and examples about similar issues
on the automake mailing list archive; eg, particularly
http://www.cygnus.com/ml/automake/1998-Jul/ and the thread
"Finding -lnsl -lsocket?"

Looks like it should also give ways to solve the configure problems 
people had with SGI/IRIX.
