<p>by removing all Cactus build system make variables from <code>MAKEFLAGS</code> (but keeping eg <code>-j</code> for parallelism).</p>
<p>Using <code>gcc -v</code> to learn about libraries that need to be linked against seems very wrong to me and modifying MAKEFLAGS is a poor way of working around this issue.</p>
<p>To be applied after the release and code deep freeze (on May 28th) and backported, along with an update of the tarball to 0.3.9.</p>
