Modern builds use tools to do the builds, which set up the CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LFLAGS so that a consistent build can be obtained across the board. Tools such as these are used whether for distributions or general hobbyists. The use of OPT breaks the ability to explicitly set critical flags, for example around producing hardened builds, when building contrib overlays and modules that are *not* ignored when building the standard overlays and modules, creating inconsistent results and breaking expectations that build behavior should be consistent regardless of whether they are overlays shipped in the main portion of OpenLDAP or as contrib modules. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
