Subject: CFLAGS overridden by distribution build system
Date: Sat, 23 May 2020 12:56:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <d0fd6970-7aa6-c576-fb8a-1d1293416e97@debian.org> (raw)

Hello,

The current build system of the userspace is setting a lot of CFLAGS, 
but most of these are overridden by the distributions when building.

Today I received a bug report[0] from Christian Göttsche asking me to 
set -fno-semantic-interposition again in libsepol. I see also the same 
flag and also a lot of others set in libselinux and libsemanage build 
system.

For what I understand some of these are just needed for code quality 
(-W) and could be controlled by distributions but others might actually 
need to be always set (-f?).

Shouldn't the flags that always need to be set (which ones?) be moved to 
a "override CFLAGS" directive to avoid these to be unset by distributions?

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
