Hello,

I have a comment about EXTRA_LIBS_FOR_BUILD.

If I were developing/maintaining those packages for a POSIX-like
Operating System which needs to care about specific libraries and/or
headers, I'd consider about a compiler script to use as CC (and put
linking procedure with specific libraries into that script).  Then, I'd
specify CC=<THE_PATH_TO_THE_SCRIPT> for configure (or CC_FOR_BUILD).

Or else, it would end up to ask all software to put similar patches.

Could you please consider this approach?
