Rationale: if
dmd.conf
exists in the source tree (e.g., when testing git HEAD dmd without installing it into system directories), then$HOST_DMD
will incorrectly pick up./dmd.conf
, making it read the wrong version of druntime/phobos. This PR adds a way to specify custom flags when invoking$HOST_DMD
so that the appropriate-conf
flag can be added.Tacking on the
-conf
flags to the end of$HOST_DMD
does not work, becauseposix.mak
assumes that$HOST_DMD
is a pathname to an executable, and will wrongly think the host compiler doesn't exist if extra parameters are appended to$HOST_DMD
