Ok, I think 'override' is definitely correct for the instance the patch
fixes, since the build breaks otherwise. Therefore I intend to apply the
patch I posted earlier to HEAD shortly, barring any objections.

In addition, we modify LDFLAGS in the following places:

(1) src/Makefile.global.in -- adding rpath flags

(2) src/Makefile.global.in -- adding LDFLAGS due to COPT/PROFILE

(3) src/makefiles/Makefile.hpux

(4) src/makefiles/Makefile.irix

(5) src/makefiles/Makefile.qnx4

(6) src/makefiles/Makefile.svr4

What do folks think about using override in these situations?
