   Hm, you're right, even though that variable hasn't been used before now in
   any of the Makefile.foo.inc kernel Makefile fragments (only in kernel config
   files as examples).  It seems I just need to put a proper ?= in there; I'll
   clean that up today.


i thought CPUFLAGS was _entirely_ for the user to set.  ie, we added it
because there was no "known correct flag" for them to set.  it seems to
me that using it in the Makefile is wrong, but a "makeoptions CPUFLAGS=foo"
in the default kernels works fine.
