I don't think we have any proper support to pass CFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
down to everything correctly. You can try using "ARCH_FLAGS" as a route
to pass extra flags down to the final compiler line.

Yeah, the current story is roughly that, taking the current documented
make route, that there is a build wrapper around the core build stuff. 

The toplevel ./autogen.sh sets up the inner build, and some other foo.

So, if you open another shell (to keep this simple) and

"build" is an alias to a build.pl in solenv

and go to the broken module, say sw

Yeah, the somethingEnv.Set.sh, e.g. LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh for me, in the
root of the libreoffice-3.2.99.2 build dir

all those makefile.mk files

yeah, build calls dmake in each dir, so again lets take sw, and say that
the breakage is in sw/source/filter/ww8

The current documented libreoffice build route is one where the
different split git repos live in build/clone, they are all symlinked to
build/rawbuild and the toplevel build/Makefile rsyncs rawbuild into
build/build/libreoffice-3.2.99.2 and runs the inner configure in there,
sources the EnvSet.sh file and runs the "build" alias in there.
