I'll have to take your word on that. Myself I have come to expect that build systems set the required options, and that anything you want in addition (potentially acting as an override) you specify via the environment. > Autoconf-based configure scripts override the default settings. Another thing I'll take your word on, with the caveat outlined above. I've a whole collection of wrapper scripts that allow me to build configure/autoconf and cmake based projects using hand-picked optimisation options. I think I'd have noticed if those options replaced everything set by configure/cmake systematically (possibly including all -I options). That said, variables like CC, CXX etc. override instead of append, fortunately ;) (if respected at all.)
