rendered as "/usr/lib//.libs/libexpat.so".  Of course there is no such
subdirectory as "/usr/lib//.libs/".  Yet the reference to libpng.so is
simply -lpng as expected.

You have a /usr/lib/libexpat.la which says "installed=no" ...

+ . /usr/lib/libexpat.la
++ dlname=libexpat.so.0
++ library_names=libexpat.so.0.1.0 libexpat.so.0 libexpat.so
++ old_library=libexpat.a
++ dependency_libs=
++ current=1
++ age=1
++ revision=0
++ installed=no
++ dlopen=
++ dlpreopen=
++ libdir=/usr/lib
+ test prog,scan = lib,link

I don't know where you got it from, but I'd suggest reinstalling expat
(of course you could just edit the .la to say "installed=yes", but there
may be other oddities that a complete reinstall would fix and the
editing of the .la doesn't).

Hope this helps,
Peter
