Use LDFLAGS when linking a shared ELF Library

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Build xar, cross-compiled, against a cross-compiled libxml2, zlib and libbz2 
not installed in 
/usr/lib using the following configuration line (or similar):

    configure \
        CC=$(CC) AR=$(AR) RANLIB=$(RANLIB) STRIP=$(STRIP) \
        CPPFLAGS="-I$(resultdir)../openssl/usr/include \
        -I$(resultdir)../zlib/usr/include \
        -I$(resultdir)../libxml2/usr/include \
        -I$(resultdir)../bzip2/usr/include" \
        LDFLAGS="-L$(resultdir)../openssl/usr/lib \
        -L$(resultdir)../zlib/usr/lib \
        -L$(resultdir)../libxml2/usr/lib \
        -L$(resultdir)../bzip2/usr/lib" \
        --build=i686-pc-linux \
        --host=powerpc-unknown-linux \
        --with-xml2-config="$(resultdir)../libxml2/usr/bin/xml2-config" \
        --prefix=/usr \
        --sysconfdir=/etc
