I removed --ldflags to fix the following mysterious problem on my
system:

So I don't think I can put it back without breaking __magick_read__
again, at least for me and other Debian users.
What are -Wl,-z,relro and -pie doing in the ldflags anyway? Are those
arguments not present on your system? Maybe they are present on mine
because of the way Debian builds the graphics magick library package?
Perhaps these flags make sense for creating the graphics magick
library itself, but I can't see any reason for them to be required to
link the graphics magick library with __magick_read__.oct.
