I've looked at the fltk-config script, and found that it has two
options:

$ fltk-config --ldflags
-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu -lfltk
$ fltk-config --ldstaticflags
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfltk.a -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lfontconfig -lXinerama -ldl -lm -lX11

The configure script of dillo uses "--ldflags", which is used for
dynamic linking against "libfltk.so", while "--ldstaticflags" is used
for linking against "libfltk.a". Which files of the two do you have in
the respective directory (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/)? My guess is
that "libfltk.so" does not exist and so dillo is linked statically.

(A simple test confirms this: renaming "libfltk.so" results in similar
errors.)

For this case, the configure script of dillo should be modified. My
suggestions:

- Generally make it possible to use "--ldstaticflags". An option for
  this, "--enable-static-fltk"?
- There should be some tests to detect this error.
