Is your concern just that this is bad practice? Also, did you intentionally leave $(CFLAGS) at the end, rather than remove it as might be expected? > -override CPPFLAGS := -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 $(CPPFLAGS) > +CPPFLAGS := -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 $(CPPFLAGS) -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 is required for correctness. So I think this part is good as-is. - Eric
