However: 1) I think we've somehow lost the default '-O1' option
Yes. I'll fix it.
2) I think the $(shell uname -m) is overkill, we'll handle this a better way when the time comes in the meantime forking/execing sh and uname for each call to make is just overhead.
I know that fork/exec operation is quite efficient on linux, more over the compilation of sources uses much more time.

It was late and I guess I wasn't clear enough. It should be done via ant because ant is the interface that developers should be using to execute the build - either using the top-level ant file or the module ant file (or via some federation calling ant). Even if they are only building native code in a module developers should still use the ant file.
Working on different projects, I've found out that Java programmers and C programmers have different habits. Java programmers likes ant, Linux/C programmers - make. I am C programmer :) If we going to do all the build ant-way, let's use cpptask as DRLVM does. But I will not sign up under that task - I can deal with makefile based build system, but I have quite little knowledge of ant to do that task.
We may change[0] the way native code is built if handle things like this configuration issue via ant then the interface for developers can remain the same even when we change what happens under the covers. Regards, Mark. [0] Probably sooner rather than later if we start ports to other platforms.
