It looks OK to me.  You say (elsewhere in the thread) that you're stuck
with 2.4 compatibility.  I'd personally avoid the regexp, though, and
write this (actually tested with Python 2.4!):

        ' '.join(i for i in target_cflags.split()
                   for p in 'DIiU' if i.startswith('-' + p))

I failed at that.  You have to put up with my indentation.
