-------- Original Message --------

Just out of curiosity, what is the Debian Way to change compiler
settings like -Ox and -march?  Can this be done with command line
options when using higher level tools like 'apt-get -b source <pkg>'
(with more options specified here, obviously)?  Or does one download
the source .deb, hack something in the build scripts, and then
manually run 'dpkg-buildpackage'?
