Package: debhelper Severity: wishlist Version: 9.20120115 As per the discussion in #657853, the consensus is that debhelper (in compat 9 mode) should be modified to pass all of CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags down to ExtUtils::MakeMaker and ExtUtils::CBuilder based build processes (currently it only passes CFLAGS).
Niko says in <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657853#142> "For reference, the invocations I came up earlier were perl Makefile.PL OPTIMIZE="$(dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS) $(dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS)" \ LD="$(perl -V::ld:) $(dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS)" perl Build.PL --config optimize="$(dpkg-buildflags --get CFLAGS) $(dpkg-buildflags --get CPPFLAGS)" \ --config ld="$(perl -V::ld:) $(dpkg-buildflags --get LDFLAGS)" but I didn't dwell long on that and there might be better ways to do this. In particular, I think EU::CBuilder already honours some of the flags so they might end up being used twice in the Build.PL version?" and this is a good place to start work on this feature. Note that I plan to spend a bit of time working on this feature in the next day or two (but I wanted to get the details down on a bug report first).
