But what about make.conf? There is no /etc/defaults/make.conf on my sytem (5.2_RELENG), and looking at /usr/src/etc/defaults/ after running cvsup it seems that's correct. I didn't notice when /etc/defaults/make.conf disappeared (during 4.x --> 5.x transition?), but the really important question is: Where are the general system defaults defined now?

Ports which disregard > CFLAGS are considered BROKEN and ought to be fixed... koffice in this case (but I think all the other kde stuff and other ports too) have their own CFLAGS defaults, which get overridden by the system defaults specified in /etc/make.conf or whereever. Think that's OK. regards
