I noticed during code review of zfsonlinux/zfs#4385 that the author of a commit had peppered the various Makefile.am files with `$(TIRPC_LIBS)` when putting it into `lib/libspl/Makefile.am` should have sufficed. Upon further examination, it seems that he had copied what we do with `$(ZLIB)`. We also have a bit of that with `-ldl` too. Unfortunately, what we do is wrong, so lets fix it to set a good example for future contributors. In addition, we have multiple `-lz` and `-luuid` passed to the compiler because each `AC_CHECK_LIB` adds it to `$LIBS`. That is somewhat annoying to see, so we switch to `AC_SEARCH_LIBS` to avoid it. This is consistent with the recommendation to use `AC_SEARCH_LIBS` over `AC_CHECK_LIB` by autotools upstream: https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf-2.66/html_node/Libraries.html In an ideal world, this would translate into improvements in ELF's `DT_NEEDED` entries, but that is not the case because of a couple of bugs in libtool. The first bug causes libtool to overlink by using static link dependencies for dynamic linking: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Overlinking_issues_in_packaging#libtool_issues The workaround for this should be to pass `-Wl,--as-needed` in `LDFLAGS`. That leads us to the second bug, where libtool passes `LDFLAGS` after the libraries are specified and `ld` will only honor `--as-needed` on libraries specified before it: https://sigquit.wordpress.com/2011/02/16/why-asneeded-doesnt-work-as-expected-for-your-libraries-on-your-autotools-project/ There are a few possible workarounds for the second bug. One is to either patch the compiler spec file to specify `-Wl,--as-needed` or pass `-Wl,--as-needed` via `CC` like `CC='gcc -Wl,--as-needed'` so that it is specified early. Another is to patch ltmain.sh like Gentoo does: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/ELT-patches/as-needed Without one of those workarounds, this cleanup provides no benefit in terms of `DT_NEEDED` entry generation. It should still be an improvement because it nicely simplifies the code while encouraging good habits when patching autotools scripts.

Native ZFS for Linux!
ZFS is an advanced file system and volume manager which was originally developed for Solaris and is now maintained by the Illumos community.
ZFS on Linux, which is also known as ZoL, is currently feature complete. It includes fully functional and stable SPA, DMU, ZVOL, and ZPL layers.
Full documentation for installing ZoL on your favorite Linux distribution can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
