Yes. It is generally a bad idea to use custom CFLAGS in ports. While many t=
hings
may work, others will break in spectacular (or even worse: subtle) ways.

So, just stick to the defaults and you should be fine. I even doubt that yo=
u will
gain a measurable performance increase for most applications. On a desktop =
system,
the only interesting things might be multimedia applications, but many of t=
hem
(e.g. mplayer) provide a WITH_OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS option, that enable a safe s=
et of
extra flags...
