Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for merging the patches so quickly.

Yes, it is.

Compiling: CPPFLAGS + CFLAGS
Linking: CFLAGS + LDFLAGS

GNU autotools handles it in the same way.

See also the gcc man page regarding -flto:

    Additionally, the optimization flags used to compile
    individual files are not necessarily related to those used at
    link time.  For instance,

            gcc -c -O0 -flto foo.c
            gcc -c -O0 -flto bar.c
            gcc -o myprog -flto -O3 foo.o bar.o

    This produces individual object files with unoptimized
    assembler code, but the resulting binary myprog is optimized
    at -O3.  If, instead, the final binary is generated without
    -flto, then myprog is not optimized.

Therefore CFLAGS is required while linking.

Regards
Simon
