This PR fixes what appears to be a typo LDFLAGS written with an additional _ in the Makefile for setting the default linker flags for libjanet.

I've looked into this a bit and haven't found anything definitive, but FWIW there are hits for both LD_FLAGS and LDFLAGS at various locations.

Not having much luck with determining whether both are valid for some environments and/or one has been deprecated.

May keep looking.

LDFLAGS is the right one, LD_FLAGS is clearly a typo. Good catch, @nlordell .

On a peripheral note, there do seem to be places where LD_FLAGS is mentioned / used in the wild. Possibly some or all of them are typos...Below are a few examples:

There are far more hits for LDFLAGS in the gcc and llvm-project project repositories though :)
