Comment (by kencu):

 Replying to [comment:4 barracuda156]:

 > A good practice is to add flags unconditionally when one is sure they
 work for all supported systems. Since the failure was with some clang and
 no testing done with gcc (which is okay), the flag should have been added
 conditionally on the compiler being clang.

 This is not the way MacPorts has expected contributors do things.

 If someone adding a flag knows ahead of time that it is not supported by
 gcc, OK, they can can add conditional code -- if they choose to. It's not
 a requirement to support gcc, or wrong if they don't.

 But otherwise, contributors can add a flag unconditionally if it passes
 CI.

 If it turns out later that gcc doesn't support it, or some ancient clang
 doesn't support it, that can be fixed later.
