gnustep-base, package warnings

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

sorry for the delays, but packaging was a bit left behind, I tested your 
changes locally, but am blocked by other problems.

What do you mean here, by skip and override? What actions could I do to 
fix the problem? Fix the sourcecode itself?
I found this inside:

nstzfile.h:#define TZDIR    "/usr/local/etc/zoneinfo" /* Time zone 
object file directory */

where is it not inherited? while running confiure?

I tried this:

LDFLAGS += -Bdirect

CONFIGURE_ARGS = $(DIRPATHS) $(LDFLAGS)

this yields to this while running "mgar configure":

I can see that -B direct (space) is passed inside LD_OPTIONS, but then 
my options ( I found this variant without spaces in linux forums) make 
it fail.

Are you meaning by "inherited" that this package configure script is 
ignoring LD_OPTIONS? that will be perhaps harder to fix then

Thanks,
