 Makefile.in: Use LIBS from configure rather than specifying -lfcgi manually.
 
 libfcgi needs libm and fcgiwrap does not use libtool or pkgconf to
-detect libfcgi, so we need to add -lm explicitely when using static
+detect libfcgi, so we need to add -lm explicitly when using static
 libs.  Buildroot does this by providing LIBS=-lm to configure when
 needed.  However fcgiwrap does not use Automake and its Makefile.in
 ignores LIBS from configure.  Fix it with this patch.
