</I>It can be very useful for users to know what functions are activated in
a package - which the compile flags often indicate. In the man page (or
other documentation) there is often reference to functions available "if
activated".
So I would favour keeping compile flags in the description, if it is
possible that they make a difference in the functions available.
However if the compile flags are required to make the package build
properly, then it does make sense to make them a comment in the spec file.
My 2 cents :)
