    _______________________________________________________

Details:

because the lib-link macros hardcode the full path of the .so library, this
prevents static building of wget

i'm not even sure why this code exists ... seems like it's just a lot of over
engineering

instead of storing "$found_so" into the lib variables, it should instead
store "-l$name"

when setting up LIBS, it should put LIBS first, not last:
-LIBS="$LIBS $LIB[]NAME"
+LIBS="$LIB[]NAME $LIBS"

that way the system libraries (like libdl) come after the static libraries
that need them
