I said to the shell, "make buildworld"

It said to me, among other things:
###
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/libs/libgroff/../../../../../../contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/tmpfile.cc:31: 
nonposix.h: No such file or directory
/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/libs/libgroff/../../../../../../contrib/groff/src/libs/libgroff/illegal.cc:22: 
lib.h: No such file or directory
mkdep: compile failed
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/groff/src/libs/libgroff.
*** Error code 1
###
(there were a ton of "No such file or directory" messages)


So, I changed my compile flags to "-O -pipe"

And the shell guiltlessly told me the same thing.

Then I commented out the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS lines out of make.conf 
entirely, so that the buildworld would use the default flags.

Then, the buildworld worked fine.

And the default flags that did work when mine did not were...

<drumroll please>

"-O -pipe"


I am now officially confused. Why did the default flags work when mine did 
not, when they are he same flags!? WTF? This is indeed strange.
