 Unfortunately, the suggested patch would only provide different set of 
 defaults for CC, CXX and CPP that would be available at imake compile time. 
 These are, however, only defaults. The build infrastructure, already takes 
 into account the values of those variables. In other words these variables 
 get put in Makefiles created by imake, but they can be overriden following 
 usual make(1) rules. At least X11 ports (XFree86-4-libraries for example) do 
 respect these variables on command line or in /etc/make.conf no matter what 
 the setting in FreeBSD.cf is. Are there any particular ports that have 
 problems with this?
