That is a much better place for it. The gb_C(XX)FLAGS don't get passed on to "external" modules, so they should not contain flags that are essential for the compilation to work at all. I think. At least for me, in my MacOSX SDK 10.4 -based build tree, using Xcode 3 installed in /Xcode3, on OS X 10.8, the -isysroot is essential for liborcus to compile.
