Tried your same Makefile on my linux machine, and it behaves
as you describe; fails with LDFLAGS, but works with LDLIBS.
Had similar results on my Mac, though had to add this line
at the top of the Makefile:
CXX = $(shell fltk-config --cxx)
..then it worked on Mac and Linux.
(Couldn't test on SGI because of STR#2174)
Had to keep CC in there, because otherwise the Mac tries
to link with 'gcc' instead of 'g++'.
Not sure if the default Makefile behavior should be
guiding our naming conventions, but if it should, a request
for "--ldlibs" seems reasonable, since it sounds like possibly
LDFLAGS<->-ldflags can't work due to default ordering.
At very least, docs on use of fltk-config should warn
about this, or show a default example with LDLIBS instead.
If nothing else, the output from --ldflags does seem more
like a list of "ld libs", and not so much "ld flags"..
