I also realized that there is a kind of inconsistency in how COPTFLAGS and = CFLAGS are handled in reality compared to that what the manpage of make.conf states. S= etting COPTFLAGS=3D-O2 for compiling kernel stuff only ALWAYS incorporates CFLAGS,= which is set to CFLAGS=3D-O3 in make.conf in my case. loader.efi is, in my opinion, kernel = stuff only as well as kernel modules, which also gets compiled with CFLAGS. --Sig_/.e/tjG/Ym/n3CLqOLR+iM1N Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJUHC3/AAoJEOgBcD7A/5N8w5YH/3sLuzZ+GJh1Nd9FpBupdvrZ 3H8t/8m4SFx+HR2oikHIfFPfPfQ5sM9m5iJ960OzDWGDo7Hrc7nebBmFo6NCb8pG 9HLjqVuRh1UJAIgCalzbM8IAL/Qt3NfIzRx++tt3TqY9X7aZjvg7sqHWcaFBPwgB 3IV/DvWvlX5xIQyfa1gtnbRhkKBpObuDRoY56bC5BcyDBqcAFwZFiJMQMvs4lUfX 9ZgSdUNvEjaN7XMuqa1+DPemnYMBec95ScEvAU44sofTW263G1OtSmp+5buBLGb1 4eG5LUKfQqKGFMr3E19w3tfGzhfaFYptPfPoV9EgDOeF/iGyMHeXTty1uudBWXg= =q03c -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/.e/tjG/Ym/n3CLqOLR+iM1N--
