Yes exactly, I should have stated this.

BTW, as I see you're actively maintaining haproxy package, did you upload some updates since 1.3.12? I can't find any recent version, see http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=haproxy&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

Exactly. And correct me if I'm wrong but it's possible that other systems are affected, because overriding CFLAGS is a common usecase, eg on FreeBSD.
