Yes. It is useful in your case (adding debug symbols to selected object files), but even more useful if you want profiling info only for selected objects because otherwise the call tree becomes unreadable. Of course it is possible to create broken builds by this, but it is expected that the user knows what he is doing when setting CFLAGS. Georg
