+Some things are already explained in configure.in, in which I invested most of the work. The order of macros that check for libraries in configure.in is significant. Some combinations simply don't work!
+Choosing not to use libtool would require many changes, the first would be to change all "LTLIBRARIES" to "LIBRARIES" in all "Makefile.am"s.

+1) mips-sgi-irix6.5:
+a) The -lgl and -lGL libraries are required.
+b) The -n32 link flag seemed to be necessary for g77 (and thus for all object files!!). This was done using @object_type@ set by configure.
+
+2) i686-suse-linux
+a) We used MesaGL and a BLAS lib from the SuSE distribution... The BLAS lib needed -lg2c to function properly.
