After a lot of investigation, it seems -laspell was being translated

Setting LIBRARY_PATH doesn't seem to help, adding a -L<path>
did help!!

It looks like libtool does not honor LIBRARY_PATH.
If it doesn't, it should.

Libtool is not documented to honor LIBRARY_PATH. This is because libtool is intended to be a portability tool so it needs to behave portably. Autoconf will also use -L options from LDFLAGS when it searches for libraries.
