+Subject: [PATCH] datapath: unexport LDFLAGS
+
+OpenWrt build system will put "-specs=.../hardened-pie-ld.specs" into
+LDFLAGS when building PIE binaries.  However the "-specs" argument is
+inteneded for "gcc" the driver while "ld" the linker when presented will
+complain it as unrecognized error.
+
+This can cause Kbuild error when building datapath kernel modules.  The
+issue should only happen when compiling against upstream kernel 4.14 and
+earlier.  Later ones should have been fixed with kernel upstream commit
+d503ac531a5 ("kbuild: rename LDFLAGS to KBUILD_LDFLAGS")
