I am also completely in the dark when it comes to autotools and make.
But in this case the solution is rather straightforward.

Every directory in the cinepaint source contains a Makefile.in which
is used during the configure process to produce the actual Makefiles.
In the Makefile.in there is a variable called LDADD which is defined
to include several library links.  To fix the dso problem, all that need
be done is to append the suitable library link (-lc, -lm, -lstdc++, etc.)
to the LDADD definition.

If someone using Redhat/Fedora would take the time to determine, by
doing an ordinary configure/make with cinepaint-1.0, what links need
to be included in what Makefile, then a patch for all the Makefile.in
files could be created.

Maybe just patching all the Makefile.in files with several extra links
would also work.  Maybe someone using Redhat/Fedora could also do this.
