Well, I think your answer was actually helpful. It may be that
make.conf USE flag setting don't have much to do with the CD, or even
that the CFLAG settings aren't critical for building the kernel - if
they are they kernel developers would fix that - but you did point me
toward good info so I appreciate that.

Maybe a more direct path toward the answer a new user wants is just
using the flags that are set in the install guide, unless folks here
think those aren't the best for the current revisions of GCC, etc.

I appreciate your responses. Thanks!

Cheers,
