You don't have anything to worry about really, the default CFLAGS would
be pretty much the same as the suggested cflags in make.conf in your
case.

As far as things to clean up, you pretty much have it with what you
did.  As for it being bigger, it could be that gcc 3.2 related stuff (if
you are using 1.4*).  Also by default with suse when you isntall pkgs,
they come in 2 pieces, the pkg, and pkg-dev (with all the include files,
etc).  Most users dont' isntall the -dev files if they don't need them,
with Gentoo when you isntall a pkg you get the whole pacakge including
all the headers and the includes and the like.  This is required in
gentoo as you compile all your own things from src and they are
required.

Hope this helps
