CFLAGS are used for module builds.

The odd thing is I have no wireless in my box and have commented out all the wireless references. What else is dependant on them and should be commented out as well? The last bit of output is below.

Go back to GENERIC (you stripped out too much) or check the comments
more carefully...or note the error message and check whether you have
anything related still in your kernel.
