Support for settings LFLAGS with mkoctfile will be removed in a future version of Octave. It was a misnomer and should have been called LDFLAGS from the start.

Unfortunately, LDFLAGS are added too early by mkoctfile in the command line arguments for the linker. That means LDFLAGS don't work correctly in some packages for Octave 6 and earlier. That will hopefully be fixed in time for Octave 7. See bug #61571.

For the time being, it would probably be best if packages set both LFLAGS and LDFLAGS to be able to compile with older and newer versions of Octave. Packages should remove setting LFLAGS, once they no longer support Octave 6 or earlier.

I'll attach a patch that does that for the package ltfat as soon as I'll have a bug number.
