This is how the error before the fix looked like on Arch Linux with
GNU libtool 2.4.6.40-6ca5-dirty:
$ make installcheck
...
make[4]: Entering directory '/home/jasan/lightning/external/libwally-core/src/secp256k1'

Then there was linking error which needed to be fixed by correcting
the idea of installing external libraries to a particular directory.
We can't rely on the existence or not of a header, as Carl's
delete-and-make-submodule change showed.

This doesn't cover external libs in general (which *could* be effected by
CFLAGS), but at least all our own objects are rebuilt.

You will want to 'make distclean' after this.
I also removed libsecp; we use the one in in libwally anyway.
