Another one here who would prefer not seeing CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS overruled whenever possible. I have always liked to stay as close as possible to upstream's build systems, with mimal changes. If we change something, Ideally I would love those changes to eventually be upstream (Unless it only makes sense on a LFS Platform, and in that case, it may be worth looking at why we need such a change). I like the idea of --strip-unneeded after the fact, perhaps on it's own blfs page. It certainly warrants having some notes regarding it.
