[Valgrind-developers] Why are CFLAGS/LDFLAGS overridden?

[Maurice v. d. P. <gri...@kf...>]

As I understand it mpicc is simply a wrapper for the regular compiler,
that adds a couple of flags for MPI headers and libs.

The makefile in the mpi directory currently overrides any CFLAGS/LDFLAGS
specification with a fixed set of flags. Why is that?


I have also been wondering if you would be willing to modify
configure.in to respect CFLAGS set in the environment. Right now it
overwrites them with "-Wno-long-long" (configure.in:21).
I have been using a patch for this in Gentoo since sometime in 2005.

Best regards,
Maurice.
