Try adding -lc to whatever_LA_LDADD in the Makefile.am's

As Shaleh pointed out, if you libtoolize --force --copy, the Debian modified
ltmain.sh and something-else-I-can't-recall will be copied, but that *may*
get you into trouble if the upstream author uses libtool 1.2 (which wasn't
available in slink last time I checked). I will also make the patch *very*
big and sometimes hard to manage (applying it to new upstream releases will
likely fail -- I spend a few minutes getting the patches back in from time
to time in some of my packages that use libtool)
