Thread: Earlier suggestion to get gcov to work by adding $(CFLAGS) to module link line

Was there any consensus on this change? It or something like it is necessary
to get gcov to work for contrib modules. I think adding all of $(CFLAGS) is
the correct thing to do on linux because if we're going to use $(CC) to link
then you don't know which of $(CFLAGS) might be necessary at link time as
well. I think -pg will suffer from the same problems for example.

The implicit .so rule sucks on nearly every port, not only Linux.
We should be getting rid of the things in favor of using the much more
complete rules in Makefile.shlib.
