Hmm. So I think this does fix some issues, but it also means that one's config.mak cannot use DEVELOPER as a base and then override particular flags. I dunno if people want to do that or not. I do not use DEVELOPER myself because I have my own detailed config.mak that is a superset. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
