Subject: [PATCH] configure: Pass LDFLAGS to link tests

LDFLAGS can contain critical flags without which linking wont succeed
therefore ensure that all configure tests involving link time checks are
using LDFLAGS on compiler commandline along with CFLAGS to ensure the
tests perform correctly. Without this some tests may fail resulting in
wrong confgure result, ending in miscompiling the package
