The reason is that overriding the CFLAGS variable causes +compilation problems. You would have to edit the Config.mk file and add +the proper values to the CFLAGS variable and then compile the package. +If you want to do that it's up to you. I don't think it's worth the +trouble though. The ld and ldd programs usually are only rarely used. +</para> + +</sect2> + |
