For a couple of recipes, adding that didn't work because of the way the name was setup !! I think it was gnutls. So, I ended up having to temporarily disable the entire LDFLAGS check, for the gcc-4.5 build.

Then you're doing something wrong. Find that and fix it. INSANE_SKIP
is the correct mechanism to use in this situation.
