runConfigure does not pass link options to Makefile for AIX platform
--------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: XALANC-470
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-470
     Project: XalanC
        Type: Bug
  Components: XalanC  
    Versions: CurrentCVS    
 Environment: AIX
    Reporter: June Ng


Discovered this a while back when doing a build on AIX.  runConfigure allows 
the user to specify additional link options via the 'l' flag, but it seems that 
on AIX, the user provided options are not appended to LDFLAGS.

When link options are passed to runConfigure via the -l flag, they get stored 
in $linkeroptions .. which gets passed to 

LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $linkeroptions $bitstobuildLink"
export LDFLAGS

But in Makefile.incl.in file, very few platforms include the $LDFLAGS in their 
link step.  For example, on the AIX platform:

MAKE_SHARED = makeC++SharedLib_r -p 512 -brtl ${bitstobuildLink}
LINK = $(CXX) -qnotempinc $(CXXFLAGS)  -brtl $(PLATFORM_COMPILE_OPTIONS) 
${bitstobuildLink}

No mention of LDFLAGS in the link step.  There are only a few platforms that 
use LDFLAGS at the link step but the majority of the platforms don't.

This should be cleaned up.
