I'm just wondering... unless it has changed since last time I installed
Gentoo Linux, but isn't the installation manual on purpose conservative
with CFLAGS?  make.conf.example also does not much more than
"-march -O2 -pipe".  -O1 to the linker feels conservative to me.  Still,
do we really need to go any further?  Why not make additional pointers
to possible values for LDFLAGS like we do for C(XX)FLAGS in the
installation manual?
