+  * LDFLAGS is now passed to both the configure and make environments,
+    and should be handled just like CPPFLAGS (see previous entry).
+
+    Summarizing both LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS changes, where you would
+    have used
+      CONFIGURE_ENV=    CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
+                        LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
+      MAKE_ENV=         CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include" \
+                        LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib"
+    now just use
+      CPPFLAGS+=        "-I${LOCALBASE}/include"
+      LDFLAGS+=         "-L${LOCALBASE}/include"
+
+    Note that it's advised to append these variables (+=) instead
+    of overriding (=) to allow customization by user.
