Special case LDFLAGS, for the darwin platform
Comment 2 Jeff Johnson 2004-10-05 11:33:25 UTC 
Static linking breaks often enough on linux that
it is hardly "available".

Rather than attempting per-platform LDFLAGS, it's easier
to just disable the only use linking rpmi.
Comment 3 Jeff Johnson 2005-01-04 19:45:49 UTC 
Added to HEAD and rpm-4_4 branches, should be in rpm-4.4.1-0.6 when built.
Thanks for the patch.
