Good to see that it's overridable. But then, you should ignore $CC, $CFLAGS, $CPPFLAGS, $LDFLAGS, when it comes to the Perl extension module. And the Autoconf tests (for iconv in particular, but also all the other tests of tp/Texinfo/XS/configure.ac) should be run with $PERL_EXT_CC etc., not with $CC etc. Bruno
