Hi Christian, This patch is not good. In a package where some subdirectories use automake and gnulib and other subdirectories don't use Automake, it will have the effect that some subdirectories are compiled with -std=gnu11 and some without. This is a recipe for hassles.
One such package is GNU libiconv; there probably are others. > Currently, the std-gnu11 module uses $(CC) to store the > compiler flag to enable C11. This has the downside that > if someone uses make CC=foo, the flag will be overridden. A user is not supposed to use make CC=some-other-compiler This works only with packages which don't use autoconfiguration; it does not work with gnulib (which has tons of autoconf tests whose results depend on $CC).
