My bad. I agree with you.

I reacted as per my case.  You need CFLAGS in order to what linker you might be using.

In case of clang, you can use “-fuse-ld” to control the invocation of linker.

In my opinion, it is not necessary to carry forward LDFLAGS unless you want to control specific parts of the linker.

 

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.
