Linking should be done with $(LDFLAGS)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When linking, $(LDFLAGS) should always be used. This allows for the user or the 
package management system to add additional linker flags.

As an example, we are building pwauth with Poky from the Yocto Project. Poky 
specifies -Wl,--hash-style=gnu in LDFLAGS and then proceeds to verify that 
everything that is built actually uses the GNU hash. This causes an error for 
pwauth since it currently does not use $(LDFLAGS) when linking:

ERROR: QA Issue: No GNU_HASH in the elf binary: 
'tmp/work/cortexa9-vfp-neon-poky-linux-gnueabi/pwauth/2.3.11-r0/packages-split/p
wauth/usr/sbin/pwauth'

Please find attached a patch that corrects the Makefile.
