About new default configure-{c(pp|xx)?,ld}flags

Hello,

The new configure flags change made in 1.4 seems to cause problems  
with some ports (at least 2, maybe more).
This change introduces things like default ldflags -L/opt/local/lib.
The problem with these flags is that some ports write ENV flags  
before the configure script ones.
On a port upgrade, this causes gcc to include the installed headers  
instead of the distfile ones, the same goes
for ld and liking against libs.

As this is useful only if the port depends on some other ports, why  
not put these defaults settings only if
the port does depend on another one?
