title: GCC Compiler - unrecognized option '-R/usr'
body: <p>I am attempting to install Cosign on CentOS 6.3 64-bit to work with my employer's central login system. </p>
  
  <p>Their documentation states that I need to set an LDFLAGS directive of:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    LDFLAGS="-R/usr -L/usr"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Where /usr is the /PATH/TO/SSL/lib - openSSL is installed and this is the correct path. </p>
  
  <p>However when I then try to ./configure the installation, GCC is throwing an error which I can't work out. </p>
  
  <pre><code>    configure:2335: checking for suffix of executables
      configure:2342: gcc -o conftest -pthread  -R/usr -L/usr conftest.c  &gt;&amp;5
      gcc: unrecognized option '-R/usr'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't find -R as an option in the gcc docs, which has me confused. I'm using gcc version 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4). </p>
  
  <p>I am not used to seeing options without a space before their argument, but in this case adding a space to make it '-R /usr' just throws the same error. </p>
  
  <p>Earlier in the config.log, I also have this error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    configure:2182: gcc -V &gt;&amp;5
      gcc: '-V' option must have argument
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone shed any light?</p>
