May I ask if you compile "on" vxworks, or crosscompile "for" vxworks?
>From my experiences with compiling autoconf'ed programs for vxworks,
it was mostly the missing crosscompile support that led to problems
(and, btw, the multitude of vxworks-runnig target processors spawned 
 the idea about the crosscompile-safe ac_c_bigendian). And simulating
some sane ac_check_lib behaviour was a real PITA, so if you could
come up with some good ideas to do that, pleeeease, go ahead, but
so far I would have chosen to put such vxworks support into
libtool rather than autoconf, so the linking fails or not in there.
