$LDFLAGS not honored by tests

[Ludovic Courtès]

Hi,

$LDFLAGS is not inherited by the DejaGNU test suite machinery (be it an
Autoconf substitution variable or an environment variable), which leads
to test failures, e.g., when LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/zlib" and /path/to/zlib
is not in the linker’s search path.

What’s the preferred way to fix it and/or work around it?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
