GNU make doesn't agree. Its default linking action invokes cc, but does not pass CFLAGS. I'd suggest that the flags you mention are linker flags for the reason that they should be passed to the program invoked to handle the linking step. Whether that program delegates responsibility to another program doesn't matter from the perspective of the makefile. -- Braden McDaniel e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://endoframe.com> Jabber: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
