-Subject: autotools: fix make error
-
-Adding link flags to the libsyncevlution.la dependencies only works
-for .la file. This started to break on Debian Testing (?) because
-a -L<something> flag became a dependency.
-
-A proper fix would be to set libs and dependencies separately,
-but for now it is easier to rely on GNU make and filter for the
-desired .la files.
