CFLAGS_append_arm = " -fforward-propagate " breaks sdk builds

Hi,

When using an old compiler (e.g. the one ubuntu 8.04LTS ships with),
zlib and ncurses fail to build because " -fforward-propagate" is not
recognized as an option.

This is due to:

CFLAGS_append_arm = " -fforward-propagate "

In the .inc files. My question: why does ncursus-sdk get that in cflags?!?!

regards,

Koen

I wonder if there is a way to make OE aware of what gcc/binutils or
other cross tools versions it is being compiled with and then decide
on options based on that.
we could poke cross compiler on the fly
something like.

check_gcc=$(shell \
        if $(CC) $(1) -S -o /dev/null -xc /dev/null > /dev/null 2>&1;
\
        then echo "$(1)"; else echo "$(2)"; fi)

its using BBLASSEXTEND now for sdk may be it uses TARGET_ARCH in overrides.
