0013-fix-to-support-LDFLAGS-in-use_enviroment_flags: not sure This seems done in orthodox a manner. However, this has the potential of wrecking havoc to Phenix on some machines where LDFLAGS is set in fancy ways.

This is also true with the other flag also, why do you treat LDFLAGS differently than others ?

In my experience, it is very unlikely a non-techie user would have permanently set CXXFLAGS or CCFLAGS but he may have set LDFLAGS in his .bashrc so as to help a program he installed to find the right shlibs. If that non-techie user then installs Phenix from source, esoteric bug reports may follow. But I may just be paranoid indeed.

I really hope non-techie users aren't installing Phenix from source.

Ok ;-) But then I could have written olex2.refine!

In any case, won't this change be silent unless the --use_environment_flags is passed to configure.py?

Indeed. So no problem here then. Sorry for the noise, Luc
