library names and AC_CHECK_LIB

Hi,
this group is about unix, I know, but I want ask
regarding a problem I have under MinGW with a M4 macro.
The macro uses AC_CHECK_LIB to test the availability of
a library. All works fine. Now I test it under MinGW and
it did not work, because e.g. libraries have the extension
"lib" (and not .a). So the linker does not recognize the
library. When I rename the library from lib

.lib to
lib

.a all is fine again.
What must I do to get a running configure for MinGW too ?
