The following reply was made to PR bin/114082; it has been noted by GNATS. From: "Andrew Pantyukhin" <infofarmer@FreeBSD.org> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, mi@aldan.algebra.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/114082: [make.conf] default CFLAGS have a blank at the end Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2007 09:59:48 +0400 So instead of trying to fix this, can we ask why this is a problem at all? We never enforce the absence of extra whitespace in CFLAGS (and almost in any other variable). Cases like "+=" definitions without a preceding "=" definition can easily cause this. Also, having extra blanks before, after or in between flags is valid for almost every application I have seen. AFAIK, this very issue comes from an autoconf idiosyncrasy to match CFLAGS in a broken way and spill out some cache- related errors.
