11 i think you mis-read what i'm doing ... or maybe i mis-read you ...
12
13 you're saying that if a user builds their system with CFLAGS="-mno-app-regs"
14 and then tries to build a package that filters out that flag, the new package
15 will break ?
16
17 if so, that's what is happening right now ... my proposal was to *change* that
18 so that users can use -fno-* and -mno-* flags and *not* have them be filtered
