Why do you want to use export from the shell environment? The standard way of overriding a variable with make, is to specify a value on the make command line. [...] > -TOOLCHAIN_ASFLAGS = > -TOOLCHAIN_CFLAGS = > -TOOLCHAIN_LDFLAGS = > +TOOLCHAIN_ASFLAGS += > +TOOLCHAIN_CFLAGS += > +TOOLCHAIN_LDFLAGS += There is nothing to append here. It is here only for documentation purpose. If you really want to take environment value into account, you can just comment this assignment or use ?= operator. Note that you can also use EXTRA_CFLAGS. I would be in favor of removing these variables. We have too many variables.
