That means you should use
  CHECKPKG_OVERRIDES_CSWgnustep-base += file-with-bad-content|/usr/share|root/opt/csw/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-base.so.1.24.7
to silence the warning about /usr/share and reinplace/patch the occurrences
of /usr/local as these are probably harmful.

You can not just pass arbitrary flags to configure, they must be used in proper
contexts.

> Are you meaning by "inherited" that this package configure script is ignoring LD_OPTIONS? that will be perhaps harder to fix then

I would think so. LD_OPTIONS is not working by being picked up during Makefile execution, but
when the environment variable is assigned the linker picks up the flags automatically prior
to the flags from the commandline.
