Issue 799088: distutils ignored LDFLAGS in Makefile (original) (raw)

Logged In: YES user_id=21627

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.
