: Support the environmental var "GCC_OPTIONS".  Which can hold a set of
: default options for GCC.  These options are interpreted first and can be
: overwritten by explicit command line parameters.  This provides one way of
: adding [temporary] options to your world build w/o editing /etc/make.conf.

So this is only to add temporary options to the default CFLAGS,
where simple

	make CFLAGS="`make -V CFLAGS` -foo -bar"

would do just fine?  Are there any other reasons behind adding
this variable?
