Gentoo YUCKFLAGS QA script

The following QA script for Portage checks built objects for undesirable CFLAGS - YUCKFLAGS. The example list is a bunch of flags that are infamous for breaking common programmer assumptions, which is whence my interest in something like this came. When I asked #gentoo whether Portage has a mechanism for this, Sam James pointed me to the ignored-CFLAGS QA script and was interested in the results, so I'm publishing the thing here.

Install the script into /usr/lib/portage/python3.x/install-qa-check.d/ (after reading it of course, don't just add random shit to your package manager) and remember to add -frecord-gcc-switches to your CFLAGS so the flags are actually recorded. It may make sense to replace the local definition of YUCKFLAGS with one in make.conf.

# QA checks for flags that may be a bad upstream decision.
# Based on the QA script for ignored CFLAGS.
# Without -frecord-gcc-switches, this reports nothing at all.
