Summary: distutils ignored LDFLAGS in Makefile

Initial Comment:
Distutils ignores the LDFLAGS variable in the Python

Makefile. This is bad, since LDFLAGS typically contains

the -L linker flag telling the linker where to look for

extra libraries.



A possible patch is attached (if the checkbox works

this time :-)

I think this is incorrect: LDFLAGS should *not* be used by

distutils. Instead, LDSHARED should incorporate LDFLAGS

where needed. Atleast that is what is done on a number of

platforms (*BSD, Darwin, ...). If your proposed route is

taken, these incorporations would need to be undone, AFAICT.
