Override configuration options per package

[Demo]

Hello folks!


I was wondering where to find a pointer on how to put additional/custom configuration options per package for the ./configure script?
I checked on the variable "EXTRA_CONF" but it doesn't seem to work, I must apologize for not reading all the dev manuals, I read them on per need basis, but I don't seem to find it there either.

On a side note, in the package testing article: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing, the LDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS} -Wl,--defsym=__gentoo_check_ldflags__=0" line creates false errors. Is it just me, or the article needs updating?

Demo,

EXTRA_CONF does not work by design.
You have an 'E' missing.

Try EXTRA_ECONF. I keep getting that wrong too.

Demo,

strip-cflags is an ebuild thing, done to protect you from yourself. :)

Copy the ebuild to your overlay and edit it there.
However, the stripping may be in an eclass, in which case copy the eclass to your overlay and edit that instead.

I already know about adding the functions in the environment files, but I was wondering about a more generalized way to avoid the extra work ...
