Would it be a good idea to allow for extra_compile_arg(ument)s in the build_clib command. I find I need this when I want to compile with symbols, but don't want full debugging. I think that this can be done using something like extra_args = build_info.get('extra_compile_args',[]) if os.environ.has_key('CFLAGS'): extra_args.extend(string.split(os.environ['CFLAGS'])) objects = self.compiler.compile(sources, output_dir=self.build_temp, macros=macros, include_dirs=include_dirs, debug=self.debug, extra_postargs=extra_args) near line 225 in build_clib. -- Robin Becker
