well, the thing is, on FreeBSD at least libnsl does not exist so
putting it in the loader flags breaks the build.
The same may happen for other platforms.
i would suggest to remove these extra libs (except for gnutls, but probably it
is already there after detecting gnutls) and let autoconf handle the dependency.
