I can follow the reasoning of Jérémy and have no problems with the
proposed patch.

However, unlike other config files, I still think of local.mk as a
local hack used by an individual developer, and not something you
would put under version control, neither in git nor in
project-specific patches.

Best regards,
Thomas
