Not sure what you mean in this paragraph. CPUTYPE affects port builds by virtue of compiler optimizations, and there are some ports where it turns on additional code changes. > quick example: > port graphics/png has a flag WITH_PNG_MMX which makes sense. > if we know the cpuflags from the build system we could enable it > depending on the hardware it gets compiled on (or, with a fancier > layout of the way flags are defined in a config file, generate templates > for specific standard boxes). Look at <bsd.cpu.mk> - it's already trivial for the port to automatically enable this support based on MACHINE_CPU: the maintainer just hasn't done it yet.
