Dear Maintainer,
OMake "CheckCLib" function uses CFLAGS instead of LDFLAGS to pass link
options. This causes this test to fail with ld-as-needed, since "-l"
option appears on the command-line before objects which use the library.
In particular, the package camlimages fails to build properly because of
this bug: it fails to check the existence of libpng, libjpeg, ..., using
CheckCLib.
Fixing the bug is easy: one only need to replace CFLAGS with LFLAGS in
the definition of CheckCLib (lib/configure/Configure.om).
