That one's due to putting '-lt1 -lm' in the LDFLAGS in
libs/t1lib/t1lib.ac:

  LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -lt1 -lm"
  if test "$with_system_t1lib" = yes; then
      AC_MSG_CHECKING(whether installed T1 lib is >= v 1.3.1 )

They should be added to LIBS instead.  I'm not completely certain
whether just changing the above to

  LIBS="$LIBS -lt1 -lm"
  if test ...

will be sufficient.  (And you may in fact want to use "-lt1 -lm $LIBS"
instead.
