Hm, it seems most likely that we're picking that up from a pkg-config file.

Can you try something like:

$ grep -- -lc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/*

(you might need to adjust the paths, I'm on Linux, sorry)
to see if any libraries we use are including it?

You can see the list of packages imported via pkg-config by looking at
build/linux/system.gyp in the Chrome tree.

$ grep libs-only-l build/linux/system.gyp
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l gtk+-2.0 gthread-2.0)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l gtk+-unix-print-2.0)',
                  '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l nss | sed -e "s/-lssl3//")',
                  '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l nss)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l freetype2)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l fontconfig)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l gdk-2.0)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l gconf-2.0)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l x11)',
            '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l xi)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l xext)',
                  '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l gnome-keyring-1)',
          '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l dbus-glib-1)',
              '<!@(<(pkg-config) --libs-only-l ibus-1.0)',
