Thanks for your quick reply, but can you clarify what you mean about not 
messing with the CFLAGS?
I mean I had only ever used that one setting taken from the example in 
/usr/share/examples/etc/make.conf, and the only experimentation i did is 
either with it in make.conf, or nothing at all.

Do mean its proper not to have it at all in /etc/make.conf or about 
changing it's values?
At the moment my /etc/make.conf just has 1 line with the Perl version 
entry, should i always leave cflags out?

thanks,
