I agree that there's not a perfect solution to this problem. Whenever one has
to deal with a third-party makefile like in this case, from thrift, it's always
a bit of a hack that is needed when it breaks on you. As you point out, there
are more precise ways to deal with the more general problem, but these don't
necessarily apply to the third-party situation where I don't control the
makefile and it's very complicated itself.

I thinks it is a Pareto 80/20 trade off. For my case and some of the previously
reported cases, LDFLAGS_PRE would suffice, and provide a quick and high value
solution. Also, being able to insert _PRE in dmd.conf and note the effect would
be of strong value during the diagnostics, troubleshooting, and debugging
phases of fixing link issues.
