Re: gcc CXX_FLAGS

[Martin Guy <martinwguy at gmail dot com>]

In my efforts to do a similar thing, the most effective way to set
default flags in GCCturned out to be to create your own fake gcc
wrapper, a tiny shell script called "gcc" (maybe also "gcc-4.8",
"g++", "g++4.8") that calls the real gcc prefixing the supplied
arguments with "-Ox" as described towards the end of
martinwguy.co.uk/crunch/#UsingIt

To override -O settings specified by makefiles and similar, (since
most of them specify a -O flag) you may be able to get away with
passing your "-O" flag last in the wrapper instead of first. If this
doesn't work, you'll need to write a wrapper that loops through all
the supplied gcc options eliminating those that begin with -O.
