Autoconf has no knowledge of what your build system looks like. It merely
tests what libraries exist and stores that knowledge in a list. It's up
to you what you do with that list.
We could probably replace $(LIBS) with $(filter {the libraries you really
want}, $(LIBS)) everywhere (see libpq Makefile). But it might be hard to
maintain. Not sure.
