mentions only %optflags to be required for packages but I noticed that
%configure sets LDFLAGS to a value different than %optflags:
rpm --eval %configure
[...]
LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS:--Wl,-z,relro }"; export LDFLAGS;
[...]
Also using '%global _hardened_build 1' modifies %configure to add
-specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld to LDFLAGS.
Therefore it seems that packages with a single Makefile where a package
maintainers set the CFLAGS according to the current guidelines are built
differently than packages using autoconf.
Do we need a %ldflags macro for packages not using %configure (or other
build systems with proper RPM macros)? Or do the LDFLAGS not matter if
CFLAGS are set properly?
We already have one, it's called %{__global_ldflags}. You are indeed
supposed to set LDFLAGS of handwritten makefiles to that. The guidelines
need to be updated.
