Your last reply didn't get sent to clfs-support.

One reason for this is for when using automated builds, especially  
with jHALFS,
when the build system or user doesn't change to the clfs user per the  
book instructions.

For the user, this was started in the first place way before CLFS  
branched from LFS.

I think this is when LFS started adding CXXFLAGS and CFLAGS, but I  
don't remember how the user changed to the lfs user.

Need to review LFS 3.3 in the LFS museum for that.  CLFS carried over  
what LFS 6.x was doing back in the day.

If CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS are needed, then we'll need to add every other  
environment variable in the world.

Example which affects GCC directly:

LANG
LC_CTYPE
LC_MESSAGES
LC_ALL
TMPDIR
GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
COMPILER_PATH
LIBRARY_PATH
CPATH
CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH
OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH
DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT
SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES

and for UNIX OS Family:

CC
CFLAGS
CXX
CXXFLAGS
CPPFLAGS
LDFLAGS
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Sincerely,
