Bind 9.2.2 configure doesn't honor LDFLAGS variable?

[Yaroslav Tarasenko]

Hello.

I've tried to compile the GeoIP patch for Bind 
(http://www.caraytech.com/geodns/) following instructions from INSTALL 
file in the patch distribution.
This patch is for Bind version 9.2.4, but for some reasons i'd like to 
use Bind 9.2.2, so i patched 9.2.2 sourcecode. I ran configure script:
===
CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/geoip/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/geoip/lib 
-lGeoIP" ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/bind
===
(Maxmind's GeoIP C interface are already installed under /usr/local/geoip).

Running 'make' gives me such an error
===
gcc -I/usr/local/geoip/include -o named aclconf.o client.o config.o 
control.o controlconf.o interfacemgr.o listenlist.o log.o logconf.o

Seems like make process doesn't honors LDFLAGS environment variable.
The same actions for 9.2.4 give completely normal build process.
Can you please give me an advice on how to cope with this situation?

Thanks in advance.
