Hi Claes !

Yes, this is intentional. EXTRA_LIBS is only used for things like
-lrt or -lsocket which are needed for some binaries on some systems
(and I don't think any execline binary needs them).
-lskarnet works as a dependency because GNU make will translate it
to libskarnet.a or libskarnet.so depending on what you have and the
configure options you've given. Are you using GNU make 4.0 or later ?
What's the exact configure and make command line you are using, and
the exact error message you're getting ?
Bear in mind that libskarnet.a is installed in /usr/lib/skalibs/
by default, and if you change anything in the execline config, it
may not find it without the proper --with-libdir option.

You should not have to patch anything. You can always get the
behaviour you want by providing the appropriate options to configure.

I don't know, but your error messages will tell. :)
