Dear Zoltan,

I missed your patch as well, so don't worry. It probably depends on the 
fact if adding to the TARGET_CFLAGS is considered sane, in that case no 
extra file/file modification is needed which might make things less 
prone to error? I would be fine with both approaches.

I think your way of handling the source definitions is preferable, since 
that gives only one place where the source is defined.

Best regards,


Tjeerd Pinkert
