Don't set them at all, just remove those lines from make.conf. Well, let me be more specific. It is probably safe to set CPUTYPE, although choosing native has caused problems for me, where specifically setting a type like core-avx2 has been fine. It is just the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS that are best not set. When not set, the world and kernel build will use safe defaults, but ports that can safely override those flags for better performance can do so.
