OK, rev. 1.210 has my fix.  Now I strip out double dashes (for long options) 
and any dashes preceding any options that setup.py doesn't care about before 
passing the string to optparse.  That way they just look like interspersed 
arguments to optparse and it just ignores them.

Tested it with your LDFLAGS value and it worked fine for me.
