We have added %extension_… macros for the options that are safe to
hard-code. But it doesn't solve the actual issue.
The problem is not that it is difficult to get the flags, the issue is
that we simply can't get the extension builders to move away from
hard-coding them.
If we add another mechanism, it will be as Fedora-specific as
`rpm --eval %build_cflags` is today.
That is why I call out Tom and every other toolchain developers to
provide more generic solution :) We should not solve the issue just on
packaging level, but also for other developers. Everybody (on Fedora,
but also elsewhere) should be able to benefit from the hard work which
went into figuring out the best set of build flags.
