That's a fairly slippery slope. Does -KPIC/-fPIC/etc. make cc a different compiler? -g/-O? -g/-pg? (Yes, the linker might be able to handle those combinations, but you may end up with a Frankenbinary that fails unpredictably at run-time.) Where do you draw the line? That's beside the point, even. "$CC $CFLAGS" may produce something incompatible with "$CC" alone---and yes, it is as if the two are completely different compilers---but ***why*** are you using CC alone, without CFLAGS, in the first place? Can someone please explain this to me? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28515
