Certain compilers would expect values passed to ld which cannot be passed to the C compiler. This caused the autoconf C configuration to fail, since it uses to CC for linking rather than LD.
Since we never use the C compiler for linking, this is not something we need to be concerned about, and the LDFLAGS is disabled when testing the C compiler.
This is only a concern when using certain GPU-related flags in the Nvidia compiler, and is only a problem for libraries with a significant amount of C code, such as FMS.
