[gentoo-user] CFLAGs for kernel compilation

2015-04-29 Thread Ralf
Hi, just a short question: I don't like genkernel, I always compile my kernel manually using menuconfig. So the CFLAGs of my make.conf won't get applied. What is the best way to (persistently) set the CFLAGs for the kernel compilation? - I don't like invoking 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=foomake' - I

- I don't like invoking 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=foomake' - I don't want to set CFLAGS as a persistent environment variable. Does the kernel building use the CFLAGS at all? The arch is set during the configuration step (Processor type and features / Processor family), and there's an optimize for
