Can you please try this tentative patch?  It should fix the LDFLAGS
problem, and also a similar problem with LIBS.  Please install
Autoconf 2.57 and Automake 1.7.2 before applying this patch and
running "make check", since they're needed to regenerate the
testsuite.

If you have other problems besides those two vars, please let
<address@hidden> know.  Thanks.

        * tests/atlocal.in (LDFLAGS, LIBS): New vars.
        * tests/testsuite.at (AT_COMPILE): Use them.
        This fixes the testsuite problem reported by Robert Lentz in
        <http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bison/2003-02/msg00011.html>.
