>Description:

It would be most useful if pkgsrc provided a magic variable that lowered the optimization level on
particular files.  For example

NOOPT_SRCS+=	lib/foo.c
NOOPT_SRCS+=	src/foo.cc

The idea is that the listed files are relative to ${WRKSRC} and the compiler wrappers will remove any -O[1-9]? flags
when compiling those particular files.

There have historically been a number of packages in pkgsrc which have had to do this and it
always involves somewhat painful patching of the makefiles in the package.  This patching takes
some effort to to ensure that the only change is to remove the optimization flag.

This is an example Makefile.am patch:

+@am__fastdepCXX_FALSE@ $(CXXCOMPILE_NOOPT) -c -o $@ `$(CYGPATH_W) '$<'`

having the hooks directly in pkgsrc would be easier.


>How-To-Repeat:

build a package that triggers compiler errors with optimization.
