Summary: LDFLAGS ignored in Makefile

Initial Comment:
Under IRIX 6.3 gcc 3.2.2, building python results in the 

normal IRIX o32/n32 stupidity. However, attempting to 

correct it by specifying LDFLAGS of -n32 is ignored.  

Inspecting the Makefile produced by configure shows 

that the environment variable LDFLAGS is properly 

imported and is set as the environment variable is set (in 

this case; "LDFLAGS = -n32").  **HOWEVER**, it is 

NEVER used on any "ld" command line.



I was able to fix it by changing the lines:



LDSHARED=       ld  -shared -all

BLDSHARED=      ld  -shared -all



to:



LDSHARED=       ld  -shared -all $(LDFLAGS)

BLDSHARED=      ld  -shared -all $(LDFLAGS)



While I do not profess that this is the best way to fix it, 

I do note that the LDFLAGS Makefile variable seems to 

be ignored unless this is done.  Making this change got 

rid of the FATAL ld errors complaining about expecting 

o32 binaries but getting n32 versions.
