Build system corrupts LDFLAGS options

Hi, I am trying to compile hugs98 with LDFLAGS="-Wl,-Bdirect -Wl,-hashvals -Wl,-zdynsort" While compiling OpenGL stuff, somehow it changes LDFLAGS to -Wl -Bdirect -hashvals -zdynsort and causes the build process to fail with the following messages: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option `-hashvals' i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: unrecognized option `-zdynsort' cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wl" runhugs: Error occurred How can I build hugs98 with these flags? Thanks, Fatih
