As reported in bug #7172 [0], setting BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS to a value containing a $ sign can lead to unexpected results. This is because it is very hard to know when the $ sign gets evaluated: - in the Buildroot-level make - in the shell called by the Buildroot-level make - in the package's own build-system, either at configure time, in the Makefile, in a shell in the Makefile... So, it is very difficult to know how much escaping that would need. A proposal is to use a shell variable to pass such values unmolested. But it is not that simple either, since it still contains a $ sign, and there is not much certainty as to when it would be evaluated. Instead, just document this limitation, both in the help text for BR2_TARGET_LDFLAGS, and in the known-issues section in the manual. Does not really fix #7172, but at least the limitation is documented. [0] https://bugs.buildroot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7172 Signed-off-by: "Yann E.
