Add support for compiler flags in autotools plugin
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to add compiler flag support (cflags) to the autotools plugin, similar to configflags, needed for packaging PostgreSQL with flags like -fPIC -pie and mit-krb5 paths. No maintainer response, no labels beyond 'plugin', and no activity in ~10 years.
Suggested action: needs triage
Reason: The issue is a feature request from an external contributor with zero comments, no maintainer acknowledgement, and no assignee. It has been open for ~10 years (3598 days) with no activity. The autotools plugin in craft-parts may have evolved since then, but there is no evidence this was implemented or rejected. It needs triage to determine if it's still relevant or if the environment variable workaround (CFLAGS) already covers this use case.
