For me, the link looks like this, with no reference to -lMagickCore-6.Q16

libtool: link: gcc -Wall -O2 -fPIC -o spumux subgen.o
subgen-parse-xml.o readxml.o subgen-encode.o subgen-image.o conffile.o
compat.o subrender.o subreader.o subfont.o  /usr/lib64/libxml2.so -lz
/usr/lib64/liblzma.so -ldl /usr/lib64/libpng16.so

I'd be interested to know what your configure output looks like round
about this point:

checking for getopt_long... yes
checking for setmode... no
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for LIBPNG... yes
checking for MagickCore-config... MagickCore-config
checking for ExportImagePixels... no
configure: ImageMagick does not support the function
         ExportImagePixels.  Please upgrade to ImageMagick 5.5.7 or newer
checking for MAGICK... no
checking for FONTCONFIG... yes
checking for FRIBIDI... yes
checking for freetype-config... freetype-config
checking ft2build.h usability... yes
checking ft2build.h presence... yes
checking for ft2build.h... yes

... and whether the version of imagemagick you have installed is
imagemagick-6.9.4_9-x86_64-1

Interestingly, the message "Please upgrade to ImageMagick 5.5.7 or
newer" is bogus, but this seems to be the reason why it Works For Me

Hmmmm
-D.
