+This happens when our %ldflags are not used for linking.

+You probably need to use LDFLAGS="%ldflags" somewhere or some other flag
+or variable, to get the %ldflags to appear after 'cc' in this line in
+the build:
+cc -DREVISION=3.11 ascii.c -o ascii

+- Spoilers below -
+
+OK, looked at the package.
+First, your %build is wrong. You use CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" in the
+%make command, but the Makefile doesn't even use any CFLAGS variable!
+
+Similarly, it doesn't use LDFLAGS so setting that would do no good either.
+
+You need to either e.g.
+a) change the CFLAGS="$RPM_OPT_FLAGS" to CC="gcc %optflags %ldflags", or
+b) patch the Makefile to use $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) after the $(CC)
+instance and use %setup_compile_flags before %make.
