When you say that setting the custom LDFLAGS doesn't work, have you
actually exported them? :)  If you just do LDFLAGS=... or LDFLAGS != ...
or LDFLAGS := ..., make(1) will only use the new value *within the Makefile
itself*, it won't be passed to child processes such as the configure script.

Also, are you aware of the dpkg-buildflags utility available in recent
versions of dpkg-dev? :)

On both counts, feel free to take a look at recent versions of, say,
the timelimit (>= 1.6-1) package.
(shameless self-ad, of course, but IMHO it might be useful to you :)

G'luck,
Peter
