Updating my GCC recipe with a "git pull" worked (the INSANE_SKIP_obj 
line got added sometime recently).

The TARGET_CC_ARCH += "${LDFLAGS}"  fix is the first thing that I try 
when i get this problem, and usually fixes it, although there are some 
packages that required patching Makefile.ac files throughout the 
project.     As I just stated in another reply, when I get beyond the 
current project time crunch (coming up on a release deadline), I will 
submit my recipe patches for inclusion in the OE git repository.

Thanks,

Hi,

When you receive a digest mail it tells you to change the subject line
to something non-bogus. Please do so in the future.

If it turns out tha that is too hard for people we can consider turning
off digests.

if you have a list of packages that would be helpful. Generally
packages should respect
LDFLAGS if they dont then probably they should be fixed.

It's worth noting here that TARGET_CC_ARCH += "${LDFLAGS}" is a hack,
not an ideal solution.   The preferred way of solving this is
reviewing the buildsystem in question to determine how best to make it
obey all of our bitbake variables, rather than injecting one into
another that it happens to already obey.

We (OE) are the one's who will suffer this most because other
distributions force gcc to implicitly
emit this option while invoking linker so they bypass the problem in
bulk of packages.

I tend to delete emails with the subject only containing digest info. 
I'm sure there are a few people who need the digests and no sense making 
life harder for them because of the actions of a few people.

Maybe it would be more friendly to learn mailman rejecting emails with
"Digest" in subject...
