This is what I would expect if my libjob.la theory is correct, due to
configure not using libtool to do the link test.

Did you ever find a .la file?

The added check for -ljob -lcap -lpam is, IMHO, the wrong way to go
about it.  You never know what libjob may depend on in the future or
on other platforms which differ slightly.

I really think the fundamental problem here is that autoconf doesn't
use the same linker that the resulting build uses.

Try setting ac_link="$LIBTOOL --mode=link $ac_link" and see if
configure starts failing if libcap-devel/libpam-devel is missing.
