Or perhaps the -L shouldn't be added at all automatically, but should
be specified in the Makefile.am file?

For instance, should -L$(top_builddir)/src/.libs be added to AM_LDFLAGS
in tests/Makefile.am?

Since $(AM_LDFLAGS) appears before $(LDFLAGS) in the LINK command,
this should solve the problem. This -L flag would then be used also
on systems that don't need it, but I don't think this is a problem.
