Gmmm, ok, I was probably thinking of BDEFLAGS coupled with -Werror, which is a
totall killer.:)

Well, Ok then. It was really not very clear from your PR. :-/
Though I am not very fond of it because `-pipe -O' is what we support for CFLAGS -
all other options are completely unsupported and should be a user's problem if
he/she want to use them. CFLAGS:= ${CFLAGS:S/-ansi//g}might give a wrong impression
that we support -ansi, while we don't and probably will not.
