I'm not convinced compiler configuration stuff belongs in /etc.  Maybe
we could add something to the system makefiles that sucks in a
/usr/share/mk/local.mk, or something similar, if it exists, that could
override defaults.  If you really think it belongs in /etc, just
symlink it (I know... "symlinks are evil", but this is what they're
good for...).
