Currently:
$ touch configure.in
$ make CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror"
=> make reruns configure
=> some configure test programs fail because of the warnings in
some header files
=> features are detected/missed incorrectly (e.g. AC_C_CONST
detects a non-ansi compiler and adds "#define const" to
config.h)
=> bad surprises when compiling (in other words: BOOM)
=> lots of time wasted debugging imagined problems
Hopefully in the future:
$ touch configure.in
$ make CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror"
=> make reruns configure
=> configure refuses to run
Of course I'd rather have configure not run automatically.
Bye
