CFLAGS= -O -pipe #system
COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe #kernel
RELEASETAG="RELENG_6_1"
SUP_UPDATE=yes
SUP=/usr/local/bin/cvsup
SUPFLAGS=-g -L 2
SUPHOST=cvsup.no.FreeBSD.org
SUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
PORTSSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/ports-supfile
#DOCSUPFILE=/usr/share/examples/cvsup/doc-supfile
KERNCONF=61KERNEL
USE_GLX=yes ### Don't forget this!!! With GLX 3D works much faster than with standard Mesa.

A FreeBSD expert wrote this to me

Code:

Unless you really understand what the compiler optimizations and flags actually do, you are better off using the defaults. They have been tested by the kernel/world developers.

The default CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS for FreeBSD 6.0+ are -O2 -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing For the best results,  don't use CFLAGS or COPTFLAGS in /etc/make.conf
