Hi, once again, all,
Following the thread base-3.14.10: libcurses vs. libncurses
<http://www.aps.anl.gov/epics/tech-talk/2008/msg01196.php>

I said

Knowing that I could redefine it with an additional, local,
site-specific CONFIG.... file

So I tried to implement a file
  os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon
containing the Site specific changes and believing the header of the
os/CONFIG.Common.linuxCommon file:

# Definitions for linux target builds
# Sites may override these definitions in CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon

but it turned out that the CONFIG_SITE file was never called.
So my question is, would it make sense to follow the strategy used in
  os/CONFIG.Common.{UnixCommon,RTEMS, vxWorksCommon}
to add in general at os/CONFIG.Common.linuxCommon's end the following lines?

#--------------------------------------------------
# Allow site overrides
-include $(CONFIG)/os/CONFIG_SITE.Common.linuxCommon
-include $(CONFIG)/os/CONFIG_SITE.$(EPICS_HOST_ARCH).linuxCommon

In my case this turned out to work.

I am actually not sure whether the second include is also needed, but it
would make sense.
Best regards,
Peter
