As a package maintainer I'd like to override some more Makefile variables. Namely:
* DESTDIR * strip command invokation (ability to suppress it by passing /bin/true instead of /bin/strip) * pass custom gcc flags
This patch allows this. It does not break any existing workflows where it's not required to change these variables.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the patch! It looks reasonable to me - Segher, any thoughts? Otherwise I don't see any reason why this couldn't be applied to SVN trunk.
ATB,
Mark.

Hi all,
It probably works fine. "?=" can be problematic with e.g. recursive makefiles, but you don't have those here.
But why do you need it? Why doesn't e.g.
make DESTDIR=/opt/bla
work for you as-is? Or do you need those vars to be passed in via the environment?

Also it's already used within the Makefiles to override C-compiler, so my patch won't change the current situation.

make DESTDIR=/opt/blawork for you as-is? Or do you need those vars to be passed in via the environment?
Unfortunately this DESTDIR trick won't work. Explicitly stated variables from the Makefile itself have preference over the environment variables unless they stated with "?=". At least this is how GNU make works.
