Users can still provide e.g. an empty space to avoid any flag. I am not sure if I understand the implications here. https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/Conditional-Functions.html says: The or function provides a “short-circuiting” OR operation. Each argument is expanded, in order. If an argument expands to a non-empty string the processing stops and the result of the expansion is that string. If, after all arguments are expanded, all of them are false (empty), then the result of the expansion is the empty string. I am assuming that this means: - If PROCMACROLDFLAGS is not empty, KBUILD_PROCMACROLDFLAGS evaluates to PROCMACROLDFLAGS - Otherwise if KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS is not empty, KBUILD_PROCMACROLDFLAGS evaluates to KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS - Otherwise KBUILD_PROCMACROLDFLAGS is set to empty. What do you mean by "use the default"? > > Yifan/Alice: please double-check the changes.
