I would love to be able to supply LDFLAGS options to configure and

Note that `-Wl,-Bstatic' will *not* be useful in LDFLAGS, but LIBS at
best, because of the ordering issues.
Minor issue. No complaints here!
If the options do not work in LDFLAGS,
then it will be necessary to pass them explicitly via the Makefile.
In this case
-Wl,-Bstatic
may work better even though it is more obtuse.
I don't see any reason against supporting both
-force-static and -Wl,-Bstatic
as two names for the same thing.
I like that. There are likely linkers which will reject -Wl,-Bstatic,
but at least it provides an opportunity for success with configure.
In the future, we should discuss some way to support pre-processing of
options passed to the configure script so that configure tests work as
closely to libtool as possible. I don't know how to address that now.
By the way, I'd like to fix ordering issues for `-Wl,'-given flags that
we don't understand, too; there have been several bug reports about
this.
Order is often quite important.
