[Slackbuilds-users] adding LDFLAGS with suffix

[Christoph Willing]

I'd be hesitant about adding an LDFLAGS by default.

Although its usually harmless, I've come across  a few builds where I tried to add LDFLAGS, after which autotools borked - the configure phase having suddenly deciding that my system couldn't compile programs anymore. Removal of the explicit LDFLAGS then allowed the configure script to continue (although I'd still have to find some other way to include the required lib directory for linking).

Sorry I don't have particular examples right now but it has definitely happened enough times that I'm now not surprised when it happens.
