Sorry, I don't think I understand what you're trying to say in these two pragraphs. What does "defined COPTFLAGS in /etc/src.conf accordingly" mean? Likewise, what does " CFLAGS set, either in make.conf, or src.conf or mutual exclusive" mean? It may be best to give concrete examples of make.conf/src.conf settings pairs, and the observed behavior. > It seems to me that it s not possible to separate cleanly CFLAGS and > COPTFLAGS for > userland/ports and kernel-only related compilations as described in the man > page. BTW, COPTFLAGS (str) Controls the compiler settings when building the ker- nel. Optimization levels above [-O (-O2, ...)] are not guaranteed to work.
