John Anderson replied:
I would prefer that the default were the strict case and optionally
you can override it with the environment variable. Personally, I
think we use too many environment variables, which I find error
prone, and I'd prefer that we use an argument to the make command
like we do with DEBUG.

-1 on strict by default. We shouldn't be preventing users from
building just because they don't use the exact environment we do.
Good point. So +1 on the default being a warning, -1 on the error.
And just to make Andi (and me) happy, how about we call it:
BUILD_ENV_WARN
since what it does is warn you if the environment is new/unknown.
As a follow-up, how hard is it to change the compiler used? Can we
just do this?
make CC=gcc-3.3
It would be great if that did it.
