So whenever linking is done whith gcc then it needs to be passed 
$RPM_OPT_FLAGS ? Or how do I know whether or not to tweak LDFLAGS?
If you like, please take a look into my package john, because I am not sure 
whether or not LDFLAGS=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS are needed there but when I tested the 
difference it seemed that even with LDFLAGS="" the stack protection worked.
