The commas are only added when there's LDFLAGS being changed.

Ok, but in the default profiles LDFLAGS are separated with commas, so
for that second opinion to be possible, I think that should be changed.

On the other hand, a lot of us use comma separated flags, so for all of
us filter-ldflags doesn't work, and what I've modify doesn't mess with
any of all the other function (or at least I haven't found the case in
which it does).

Anyway, filter-ldflags doesn't work like it is right now, I'm not saying
use _my_ code, but use whatever you think it's best to fix this.
