With the current build system, user-defined CFLAGS are accepted as any unrecognized command line argument passed to Configure. This seems a little dangerous to me since it means a simple typo could end up getting passed to the C compiler.
As well, the current build system forcibly enables optimization (-O3) or debug symbols (-g) depending on the build type (--release or --debug). There does not appear to be any method for the user to pass additional LDFLAGS to the build system. I would like to propose the following changes: 1. Read CFLAGS and LDFLAGS from the environment within the Configure script. 2. Allow the user to opt-out of the default release or debug cflags, perhaps by adding a third build type (neither release nor debug). These changes would my job as a distro maintainer on Gentoo Linux just a little bit easier. -- Ticket here: http://rt.openssl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4664 Please log in as guest with password guest if prompted -- openssl-dev mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-dev
