Unless I'm mistaken typically LDFLAGS are passed like this. (I think you
are mistaken)

${COMPILER} ${LDFLAGS}

ld ${LDFLAGS} # It doesn't mean this isn't also possible

Regardless if you're dealing with a cross compiler or whatever weird CFLAGS
you have to pass. This is a linker issue and LDFLAGS are designed to deal
precisely with that.
