$ LDFLAGS=-lpopt make options

  Only put flags in LDFLAGS.  Put libs in LDLIBS.  The default rule is

%: %.c
#  commands to execute (built-in):
        $(LINK.c) $^ $(LOADLIBES) $(LDLIBS) -o $@

and LINK.c embeds LDFLAGS.  On ELF platforms where command-line order of
linker inputs doesn't matter so much, it'll often work to put -l options in
LDFLAGS, but it's not portable to PE platforms like Windows/Cygwin where the
libraries have to come last on the command-line.
Thanks for the very quick reply, it works perfectly now, and I became a bit wiser thanks to you. :-)

Nevertheless I apologize for taking up your and everyone else's time with something that wasn't an odd behaviour at all.

Kind regards,
Robrecht
