[OpenAFS] Re: env vars being ignored - 1.4.2 building aklog

[Derrick J Brashear]

What *should* happen is we should separate kernel and userspace, let 
userspace use whatever CC the user wants, and allow the kernel CC to be 
overriden but tested (see solaris-cc and aix-cc in src/cf) but I haven't 
had time to write this yet and no contribution has shown up, either. If 
I'm going to spend time on it I'm going to do it right.
