Details

Description:
The Makefile of mdadm 3.1.4 doesn't seem to honour the CFLAGS environment variable.
The following small change in the PKGBUILD forces it to do so.
This also removes the -ggdb argument the program would otherwise be built with which just adds debugging information.
(And as far as I know arch binaries shouldn't normally contain debugging information.)

Additional info:
I looked at version 3.1.4-1 of the PKGBUILD.

Steps to reproduce:
Build the mdadm package with custom CFLAGS in your /etc/makepkg.conf

maybe getting a proper fix to the Makefile upstream would be the proper way to go with this one?
