Thank you, you found a but in 10-main.conf (and in your own
20-efca.conf for that matter).

The add() and add_before() functions take a separator string as first
argument, remaining argument are those that will be added to inherited
values, after or before.  Unfortunately, it seems like a number of
them didn't get that separator argument.  For example the following
line in the solaris64-x86_64-gcc config:

        cflags           => add_before("-m64 -Wall -DL_ENDIAN"),

should really look like this:

        cflags           => add_before(" ", "-m64 -Wall -DL_ENDIAN"),

We will correct this, of course.  In the mean time, I suggest you try
out that kind of change.

Cheers,
Richard
