Well, if it's set in your shell, make inherits them automatically unless you unset them between configure an make. (testing) But it doesn't work. Autoconf seems to override the shell settings. > , and > make CFLAGS="aVerySpecialFlag" > > would be the same as > > make CFLAGS="aVerySpecialFlag $CFLAGS" > > Of course there can be good reasons to disable CFLAGS recognition in > configure, Yes, there is a very good reason: configure chokes on the -Werror flag and produces more or less random test results. This can be hell to debug. Maybe I can find a way to enable the original CFLAGS again before they are placed in the Makefiles. > but then things do not work the True Gnu Way anymore (which > is not A Bad Thing, but maybe it deserves to be mentioned in the > INSTALL file).
