Ah, okay. That melts my objections away like butter. It looks like no great effort is required to address this; the problem is that the compile_rom target in the Makefile is the only one that invokes $(CC) without passing $(LDFLAGS). With your argument above I can even justify recommending this change to upstream. Thanks for the discussion! Regards, Branden
