They used to but Eli or Stefan said it should be off by default as
it's still experimental.

Can you make this work? If you had to change the flags, which one did you use?

As an alternative solution, we could bundle ltdl with emacs:

This has more to do with --libs but it doesn't matter: if a package
doesn't exist pkg-config prints an error message.
Again, maybe try to find the right flags to build a sample libyaml
program? We can go from there.
