[oe] [RFC] make "LDFLAGS ignored" QA errors fatal

[Jeremy Lainé]

Hash: SHA1

I have spent quite some time cleaning up a bunch of recipes which were
triggering "LDFLAGS ignored" QA errors, and I don't really want to
have to do this again in the future. I suggest we stop whitelisting
this kind of QA error, using the attached patch.

To track down the faulty packages I have made use of oestats output
(note that not all QA errors are "LDFLAGS ignored"):

http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/?qalog=1

In most cases, the problem is that recipes simply pass
- -L${STAGING_LIBDIR} as LDFLAGS instead of using the full ${LDFLAGS}
variable. The result is that flags such as --hash-style=gnu are
getting ignored.

What are your thoughts?
