Comment(by jkeenan):
Looking at this ticket over the past few days, I have come to believe that
we'll need empirical data to decide which way to proceed. At some point,
it will be a judgment call as to which way of setting configuration data
is 'better', but data can inform this judgment.
I wrote a program tonight, based on Parrot::Configure::Trace, which looks
at how elements in the `data` section of the Parrot::Configure object
evolve over the course of configuration. By focusing on the elements
modified in the compiler_flags branch, we can see the differences in how
they evolve over the course of configuration.
Please see attached patches. One is the program I wrote. The other is an
edited version of the output comparing the `master` and
`nwellnhof/compiler_flags` branches on Linux/i386 through the first 14
configuation steps.
Thank you very much.
