This is _unrealistic_.

Suppose a program needs 'n' libraries to link.

After Configure fails to compile a test program using the presumed
locations of these 'n' libraries, it would then have to build test
programs for _each_ of the n libraries to test their presence.

This would bloat configure without adding any benefit.

The message is clear. Either,

1 There is a bug in configure that makes it impossible to build Nag on
Debian

==> Perhaps you should try the Deb package/port.

2 Your system is missing libraries or headers.
