Masahiro, do you have any suggestions? > You can remove a CFLAGS for a whole directory. lib, kernel/trace and others do this. Look at kernel/trace/Makefile, we have: ORIG_CFLAGS := $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) KBUILD_CFLAGS = $(subst $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE),,$(ORIG_CFLAGS)) Where it removes CC_FLAGS_FTRACE from CFLAGS for all objects in the directory. -- Steve
