Dear Scott Wood,
In message 20091019212409.GA31322@loki.buserror.net you wrote:
The override keyword is needed for make to take our version over the one specified on the command line, and remove it from the list of command line overrides that are passed to submakes. IMHO, the combination of "export" and "override" ought to do this automatically, but oh well.
I have to admit that I don't see the problem. When I explicitly ask for a specific ARCH setting on the command line (versus using some setting I inherited from the envrionment, eventually even unaware of the current value), then I do want to use that. So the current code seems to do what I would expect from it.
Maybe my expectations are whacky, though.
I tend to NAK this one.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
