The configure script allows you to specify flags to pass to the linker
step in the LDFLAGS environment variable but this was being ignored in
the Makefile. Now a make variable gets set to the value passed down
from the configure script.

configure also uses CPPFLAGS for preprocessor options like -I/my/path,  
which are dropped as well. Could we fold them into CFLAGS while we're  
at it?
