12 As a user, I had the same thought. Why not have portage set it
13 appropriately unless the user has explicitly defined it? That of course
14 is making the assumption that someone who has explictly set the CBUILD
15 variable knows what they are doing, since they had to go through the
16 trouble of learning about it and the fact that they could set it.
