:: It's well documented in /etc/defaults/make.conf
::
:: # CFLAGS controls the compiler settings used when compiling C code.
:: # Note that optimization settings above -O (-O2, ...) are not recommended
:: # or supported for compiling the world or the kernel - please revert any
:: # nonstandard optimization settings to "-O" before submitting bug reports
:: # to the developers.
:: # Note also that at this time the -O2 setting is known to produce BROKEN

This is "well documented"? It doesn't say *why* optflags above -O are bad.
