This is not the right way to do it. Gnome-config produces -l's for
all the gnome libraries on the system. This means that if you have
gnome libraries not necessary for Abi on your system, then your binary
doesn't run on systems without that library. This can make
distribution very annoying. We used to do it that way, and changed to
the current way.
What's breaking on SuSE?
