I'm not quite sure, what kind of default you are talking about. I
havent't set any compiler options in my mk.conf - the O2 seems to come
from the package itself. And from the pkgsrc documentation I know, that
the CFLAGS in mk.conf are not always able to override the package
options (though I haven't checked it for xulrunner yet). It would be
nice, if you could set CFLAGS for a specific package, like
"CFLAGS.xulrunner+= -O1", but I haven't found this in the documentation
yet.

Not in this case, it seems ;)
