 obfsproxy autoconf has a weird habit of putting file names on the build
 line of test programs. For example, if you incorrectly set
 libevent_LIBS="/usr/local/lib" (without the -L) then autoconf will just
 plunk that down onto the build line of its program that tests whether
 ntohl works. The test program won't build ("why did you say /usr/local/lib
 on my command line"), so autoconf concludes there's no ntohl.

 People seem to report the "could not find ntohl" for all sorts of reasons,
 each of which boil down to some other thing in their build environment
 going wrong, and the ntohl test being the first one in autoconf's list.
