X-Debbugs-Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Package: make Version: 3.81-2 Severity: wishlist
Currently, if I have a machine (like Centrino), there's no clean way of saying the OS to do all compilations/re-compilations optimized for my hardware. MAKEFLAGS="mtune=pentium-m" is one way, but I'm not aware if most applications in Debian respect it: a) module-assistant b) apt c) name any I might have missed. I've read that Gentoo has something like /etc/make.conf from which its package management utility reads those values. It would be great if we could have something similar. I'm filing it for the make package and not the other packages mentioned above, because if this gets implemented in make, everyone benefits.
