Hi Charles, http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/make/Implicit-Rules.html#Implicit-Rules I am curious what other DD's do. As for me, I usually try to save the original "default" CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS before I change them. Usually something like: OLDCFLAGS=$(CFLAGS) CFLAGS=-W... then I can change CFLAGS however and use OLDCFLAGS to get the old settings reliably.
