I overlook the description of each stage at the beginning of the file, I'll whip myself for this. > I was trying to understand this because I need to use a gcc(1) option > in CFLAGS for these tools for my integration of the ProPolice patch > in the build system. I tried to set CFLAGS as an environnement variable in BMAKEENV from Makefile.inc1, but the compilation line still doesn't't contain the flag I want. Any idea why this doesn't work ?
