But it doesn't happen because LDFLAGS is overriden by the
makefile included just after you set it. The relevant part
copy-pasted from your mail:

   LDFLAGS = -L$(INCLUDE_SEAL_LIB) -llibseal.a -lpthread
   include $(PGXS)
   seal_diff_cpp.so: seal_diff_cpp.o
      $(CXX) -Wl,--no-undefined -shared -o seal_diff_cpp.so
   seal_diff_cpp.o $(LDFLAGS)

As as solution, you could leave LDFLAGS alone and use a different
variable, or include $(PGXS) first and *append* your options to
LDFLAGS if your prefer.
For instance (replacing -llibseal.a with -lseal while at it):

   SEAL_LDFLAGS = -L$(INCLUDE_SEAL_LIB) -lseal -lpthread
   include $(PGXS)
   seal_diff_cpp.so: seal_diff_cpp.o
      $(CXX) -Wl,--no-undefined -shared -o seal_diff_cpp.so
   seal_diff_cpp.o $(LDFLAGS) $(SEAL_LDFLAGS)
