Hello Fabrice,

Thanks for looking into this. Adding Giulio in Cc.

Are you sure both are needed?

Indeed, we're doing this:

GPSD_SCONS_ENV = $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS)

GPSD_CFLAGS = ...

GPSD_SCONS_ENV += CFLAGS=$(GPSD_CFLAGS) CCFLAGS=$(GPSD_CFLAGS)

So the CFLAGS=$(GPSD_CFLAGS) should win over the CFLAGS that are
originally in $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS).

In other words, can you try to see if the simpler:

-GPSD_CFLAGS = $(TARGET_CFLAGS)

ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_GCC_BUG_68485),y)
GPSD_CFLAGS = $(filter-out -O%,$(TARGET_CFLAGS)) -O0
else
GPSD_CFLAGS += $(TARGET_CFLAGS)
endif

doesn't work ?

Thanks,

Thomas
