interesting, i didnt know this.
The problem is i dont want to set CFLAGS by just adding -O2.
I think sometimes more options are set besides just -O2 and -pipe
so setting CFLAGS is a bad idea. Question would be: how
to put it so that the order is changed and that
by setting CFLAGS+=-pipe, -pipe is actually added instead of being
set as option? Or should i use := instead of +=?
However, i am more reluctant in doing so because in math this
notation means to actually define a variable and that's not what i wish.
Any suggestions?
Bye,

Mipam.
