We have:

ALL_LIBS = \
    @DBUS_LIBS@ \
    @GLIB_LIBS@
...
libtelepathy_glib_internal_la_LIBADD = $(ALL_LIBS)
...
libtelepathy_glib_la_LIBADD = libtelepathy-glib-internal.la

which always used to work. @DBUS_LIBS@ includes both dbus-glib and libdbus.

libtelepathy-glib-internal.la is a libtool noinst (static) convenience library,
while libtelepathy-glib.la is an ordinary shared library with no additional
sources (so it just wraps libtelepathy-glib-internal.la in a shared library
ABI).

It's conceivable that we also need to add $(ALL_LIBS) to
libtelepathy_glib_la_LIBADD, but I'd rather not do that if we don't need to -
as I understand it, libtool should arrange for that to happen anyway?

Since none of the telepathy-glib upstream developers are Fedora users (as far
as I know), it'd be very useful if you could explain how to give an unmodified
ld this behaviour. From the descriptions on the Fedora wiki, it sounds like the
change might have been to make "ld" equivalent to "ld --no-add-needed", for
which some Debian bugs have been filed since it's also the default behaviour of
the "gold" linker?
