title: Make: LDLIBS, deprecated?
body: <p>In the GNU Make documentation, variables LDLIBS and LOADLIBES are not documented in its corresponding <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Implicit-Variables" rel="noreferrer">section</a>. I've <a href="http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-make/2005-01/msg00063.html" rel="noreferrer">read</a> that these variables exists only for compatibility purposes, and that they are equivalents (same meaning). But, LDLIBS is still used spreadly.</p>
  
  <p>Could it be said that LDLIBS is a deprecated variable, or would it be safe using it? If not, why is LDLIBS ignored by its documentation?</p>
