10 I thought this was more the standard definition. The custom-cflags
11 thing is there for upstreams which *demand* that we use their CFLAGS,
12 and nothing else. Setting USE=custom-cflags there just overrides
13 upstream's flags in that case, which means you can expect upstream to
14 immediately flag any question/bug/complaint as invalid.
