Bug description:

Following up on #128322, I noticed that the same pattern of setting LDFLAGS instead of LIBS is used frequently. Additionally, there is not consistency in the ordering of the added libraries, e.g., LIBS="$LIBS ..." vs LIBS="... $LIBS".

For cases where the linking order matters, I believe using LDFLAGS is incorrect and the existing $LIBS should always come first.
