This naming convention is standard among Solaris developers?

Hmm, autoconf's AC_CHECK_LIB([NAME], [FUNC], [...]) provides
the feature what you want, I guess. It would not search the
pathname of libNAME, but it would execute
        ${CC} ${CFLAGS} ${LDFLAGS} conftest.c -lNAME
conftest.c refers FUNC. Do you think you found the bug of
autoconf?
