Hi,
I was thinking about setting CFLAGS AND LDFLAGS during the first fink  
bootstrap
something like that

fink selfupdate CFLAGS="-arc i386 -arch ppc"

and then hopping that all the makefile will get the new propagated  
CFLAGS
and maybe modify the apt.conf to take that into account.


I guess that the bad point will be when apt will generate  the .deb

it's a pity it doesn't cope with flat files.


Thanks anyway for your answer


Djamé
