[ROOT] ROOT Makefile request + problem

Hi,

I'm using portions of ROOT's test/Makefile to set the compiler switches for
thread + exception support (the long list of ifeq($(ARCH),...)).

First I'd like to make a request: Could we split the settings part of this
test/Makefile and the actual build part? This would mean we can simply
include the settings part in every Makefile we use for own projects. Or does
that settings Makefile already exist and I just didn't find it?

Until now I get the $ARCH, $NOEXCEPTIONS, etc from an "include
$(ROOTSYS)/config/Makefile.config". I assume this file is a leftover from
the original root build at FNAL (a very handy one, but it's not in the
standard root distribution). The settings in that file match the ones in the
test/Makefile. Here's the problem: It defines "NOEXCEPTIONS:=no", but in the
endless "ifeq($(ARCH),...)" I only get exception support if NOEXCEPTION is
empty. Could someone change this - preferrably changing the
"ifeq($(NOEXCEPTION),)" to "ifeq($(NOEXCEPTION),no)"? Or is this a problem
introduced at build time here at FNAL (i.e., must somebody state explicitly
NOEXCEPTIONS:=no for this to happen)?

Thanks,
Axel.
