@kiplingw I was talking about only flags needed to work with Pistache, not the essential ones needed for the library to work. In my opinion every change should have no...

I mean these flags: [CMakeLists.txt#L16](https://github.com/pistacheio/pistache/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L16), [CMakeLists.txt#L22](https://github.com/pistacheio/pistache/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L22). Required libraries are already compiler independent (like [src/CMakeLists.txt#L44](https://github.com/pistacheio/pistache/blob/master/src/CMakeLists.txt#L44)), and the only place where they are specified using compiler dependent flags is when defining pkg-config...

Also, I believe that Debian runs autopkgtest on multiple architectures, so once I manage to package Pistache we'll be able to rely on that.

Hey @kiplingw, I've been thinking about this a bit more, and while I haven't found a solution I think that we could still improve the current situation. Problems with the...
