Apart from this is is possible to define special cflags in the Makefile.objs 
just
for a subdirectory? I have patches ready to make the block layer files and
other coroutine users compile with -Wstack-size=2048. But I do not want
to specify each file separately.

Limiting the coroutine size to much could also lead to trouble in some third 
party
libraries that are called from a coroutine context, or not?

Thanks,
Peter
