There are some flags that Fedora wants passed to the compiler when the
package is built.

usually these are set automatically, by the %configure macro - which
exports them as environmental variables.

The makefile apparently ignores them.
You may need to patch the Makefile.in to honor the CFLAGS and/or
CXXFLAGS environmental variables. I'm not positive, but I believe some
packages want them passed as configure options and not set by
environmental variables, so perhaps that all you need to do.
