[erlang-bugs] Build system ignores LDFLAGS

[Davide Pesavento]

Hello,

Erlang's build system seems to ignore custom LDFLAGS. This is the QA
warning shown by Portage (Gentoo Linux's package manager) after
building R12B-5 with LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed
-Wl,--hash-style=gnu"

QA Notice: Files built without respecting LDFLAGS have been detected
 Please include the following list of files in your report:

Before digging into the Makefiles, I'd like to know if you already
have some ideas about the root cause of this issue.

Thanks,
