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.
