For those of us who haven't encountered this problem, could you include
some commentry in the commit message describing the failure mechanism
and why you think this is the correct solution?

The final link for modules is:

quiet_cmd_ld_ko_o = LD [M]  $@
      cmd_ld_ko_o = $(LD) -r $(LDFLAGS)                                 \
                             $(KBUILD_LDFLAGS_MODULE) $(LDFLAGS_MODULE) \
                             -o $@ $(filter-out FORCE,$^)

which seems to always include both flags.  Why is it ignored when it's
in LDFLAGS_MODULE?  What about the other flags we pass in LDFLAGS_MODULE?

Thanks.
