LDFLAGS_BASE is not used when LDFLAGS is passed on environment

[q66]

It seems in a distro build environment where LDFLAGS is provided during configure, LDFLAGS_BASE is not being used, even though it's set in mconfig. That means with latest master -lcap is not passed properly.

This is intentional (i.e. by specifying LDFLAGS the default flags are being overridden), but not ideal for the additional library case (such as -lcap). We could split that out into a separate build variable (LIBCAP_LDFLAGS or similar). I would like to re-work the build a little so I will get to this at some point.

Currently workarounds would be either to include -lcap in the specified LDFLAGS, or to override LDFLAGS_EXTRA instead of LDFLAGS.
