Hi,

Evgeny Pisemsky <mail <at> pisemsky.site> skribis:

This is surprising because the checkout lacks the ‘.git’ directory, and
thus Git cannot possibly determine the commit ID or anything.

Could it be that adding ‘git’ to $PATH just hides the problem?

Not related to your patch, but this thing is most likely wrong and
should read "CFLAGS=-O2 -g -fcommon", or the binaries will be
unoptimized (-O0) and unconditionally stripped.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
