You also need to export either Q or NICER so that modules get compiled
with that flag too. I've attached a patch to do so.

Fair enough -- I normally find that the compilation lines cause warnings
and things to scroll past too fast.

That being said, I also do things like add in -Werror to stop
compilation dead in its tracks when I am developing.  In the attached
patch, this looks for a CVS directory and if found adds it in.

Anand
