I always call configure with this option.  I was trying to find out why
libgcrypt wasn't always found.  I think I may have found the place where
things go wrong, but I have to trace back through some m4 macro
definitions.  I'll have to get back to this another time.

Okay, thanks.

I'll try.

This would seem to be more-or-less the same problem as above.  This is the
note I've made to myself:

Start in ~/gnutls_dev/gnutls_master/lib/m4/hooks.m4:  Trace what
AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS does.  Try to get the path of the libgnutls library
and header files out and use them where needed.  See
~/gnutls_dev/gnutls_master/lib/gcrypt/Makefile.am.  I think AM_CPPFLAGS in
this file needs to be changed for this to work.
