The one that don't work the normal way ? ;))

There's no reference to CXXFLAGS because it's for C++ and most (if not
all) gnome is in C.
It should be fine if you use the two seconds exports.
Can someone have a look at it and see if it's out of date ?
I think this should compile fine without all those defines (it's done by
the *-conf scripts).
