The compiler flags officially supported within the project are:

	CFLAGS='-O -pipe'

	COPTFLAGS='-O -pipe'

More aggressive optimizations may be possible, but you're on your own
trying to get support later if something goes wrong, whether or not it's
related to the optimizations. :-)

It is common practise to leave CFLAGS and COPTFLAGS defined as above in
/etc/make.conf at all times.
