8 ebuild(5):
9 HELPER FUNCTIONS: COMPILE
10 econf [configure options]
11 [snip]
12 Note that the EXTRA_ECONF is for users only, not for
13 ebuild writers. If you wish to pass more options to
14 configure, just pass the extra arguements to econf.

16 I stand corrected. Might it be acceptable, though, to set it with
17 something like
18
19 EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-wombats $EXTRA_ECONF"
20
21 in the ebuild? That would still allow the users to set their own flags.
