I saw it, but i think something needs to change then.
Then what is the difference between setting: CFLAGS+= -pipe
and CFLAGS=-pipe ??
Same for COPTS?
I thought .... += means to add and = means to set.
What you tell me now is that it makes no difference anyway.
Both += and = SETS the options. So it makes me wonder again,
whats the use of += anyway if the options are set by += instead
of adding something above the by default defined options
like -O2 in sys.mk for example?
