Probably because of one of the other libs in the command line. Look at
this example:

holden at rye:~/tmp$ cat v.c
#include <vorbis/vorbisenc.h>
int main(void) { vorbis_encode_ctl(0, 0, 0); return 0; }
holden at rye:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall v.c -lvorbis
/tmp/ccxLWwPN.o: In function `main':
v.c:(.text+0x14): undefined reference to `vorbis_encode_ctl'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
holden at rye:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall v.c -lvorbis -lpulse
holden at rye:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall v.c -lvorbis -lSDL
holden at rye:~/tmp$ gcc -Wall v.c -lvorbis -lvorbisenc
holden at rye:~/tmp$

If we use any of the functions vorbis_encode_*() we need to link
against libvorbisenc, lvorbis alone is not enough.

Something like the attached patch should always work if the user has
libvorbisenc installed.
