If you need to link against libraries that are not found by
@command{configure}, you can use @code{LDADD} to do so. This variable is
-used to specify additional objects or libraries to link with; it is
-inappropriate for specifying specific linker flags; you should use
-@code{AM_LDFLAGS} for this purpose.
+used to specify additional objects or libraries to link with.
+Libraries to link with can be indicated either as file names or
+through @code{-L} and @code{-l} options.
+
+For other linker options (not @code{-L} or @code{-l}), @code{LDADD}
+is inappropriate. You should use @code{AM_LDFLAGS} for this purpose.
Thanks Bruno. Pushed as written. -k
