I think that LDFLAGS overriding is in some situations bad for newer
libtool, as it is used with some postgresql contrib makefiles and
interfaces.
LIBS are added to LDFLAGS where they really should be added to
LIBS, not LDFLAGS.
This causes incorrect order in the linker command-line, which fails in
building shared libs. A similar problem as with building php.
