# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_COMPILER_FLAGS_LDFLAGS([VARIABLE], [IS-RELEASE], [EXTRA-BASE-FLAGS], [EXTRA-YES-FLAGS])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Add warning flags for the linker to VARIABLE, which defaults to
#   WARN_LDFLAGS.  VARIABLE is AC_SUBST-ed by this macro, but must be
#   manually added to the LDFLAGS variable for each target in the code base.
#
#   This macro depends on the environment set up by AX_COMPILER_FLAGS.
#   Specifically, it uses the value of $ax_enable_compile_warnings to decide
#   which flags to enable.
