This means that: make DEVELOPER=1 without further config won't get these knobs, because we (rightly) default CC=cc. Probably this detection could be a bit more clever, like: cc*Free Software Foundation") print_flags gcc or something. I don't have any non-gcc/clang compilers to test with, so I'm not sure what they even print for "--version" (if anything). -Peff
