CFLAGS = "-g $CFLAGS", AM_CFLAGS

[Дилян Палаузов]

Hello,

As of pidgin-2.7.1 configure.ac contains the lines

1267: if test "x$GCC" = "xyes"; then
...
1343:     CFLAGS = "-g $CFLAGS"
1344: fi

This means, that the one who compiles the software effectively cannot 
turn off "-g" (debug information) by using standard tweaks (command line 
options, CFLAGS as environment variable) as it is hard coded in the 
Makefile.   *Is this intended so?*

Apart from this, the automake manual says 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/automake/Flag-Variables-Ordering.html), 
that user variables like CFLAGS shall never be defined in the 
Makefile.am file, but AM_CFLAGs shall be used instead.  *Shall I write a 
bug report for CFLAGS -> AM_CFLAGS or is this email sufficient?*

Със здраве
