Subject: [PATCH v2 04/13] Makefile: Remove non-standard $(FLAGS) variable
Date: Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:23:29 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260421032338.1909084-5-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260421032338.1909084-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
FLAGS was introduced over the more standard CFLAGS, because there are some
options we can't compile without, so overriding CFLAGS from the command
line wasn't practical. We've now better dealt with that using
BASE_CPPFLAGS, so there's no real need for FLAGS any more. Replace it
with the more conventional CFLAGS, which now *can* be reasonable overridden
from the command line.
