What system is this on?

Note that CONFIGURE_LDFLAGS *is* conditionally added a couple of lines
later.

In my testing on Linux, these flags aren't needed/wanted for linking
notmuch-shared. And I believe I tested the conditional assignment such
that it gets enabled on OS X at least, where these additional flags are
needed.

So perhaps you've just got a system where we need to detect that
LINKER_RESOLVES_LIBRARY_DEPENDENCIES should be set to 0?

Let me know,
