It works on my system, with
CFLAGS= -O -pipe
and in games/kbubbles/Makefile,
CFLAGS+=-v
..reg pointed out this problem is limited to ports without configure
scripts.. which I confirmed in my mail/mreport port.
Perhaps what we should do is implement something similar to the PCFLAGS
hack I've been using in some of my ports. Like, save the environment CFLAGS
to a separate variable such as SAVEFLAGS, then set CFLAGS="${PCFLAGS}",
which is set in the port Makefile, then set CFLAGS+=${SAVEFLAGS}. Something
like that.. did that make sense?
