Dammit, only seconds after posting, I see the answer:
File: make.info, Node: Catalogue of Rules
Linking a single object file
`N' is made automatically from `N.o' by running the linker
(usually called `ld') via the C compiler. The precise command
used is `$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) N.o $(LOADLIBES)'.
i.e., I wanted LOADLIBES, and this works.
That does mean there's a bug in
File: make.info, Node: Implicit Variables
as that node doesn't mention that LOADLIBES.
