The GNU coding standards specify that CFLAGS should be left for users to set. * Makefile.in (CFLAGS): Put this in the "things configure might edit" section, and have it default to -g. (ALL_CFLAGS): New variable, set to all the flags which should be passed to compilations. Replace all other uses of CFLAGS with ALL_CFLAGS. (.c.o): New rule, to pass ALL_CFLAGS to compilations. * Makefile.in (DEFS): Remove this; it's always just going to be "-DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Demacs". * Makefile.in (ALLOCA): New variable, whose value we should inherit from the top-level makefile. (etags, ctags): Include ALLOCA in the list of object files that these executables depend on and link.
