Could someone update the entry in /etc/make.conf? I've just looked at it
on a -current system (admittedly, on the UK server, so it may not be 
bang up to date, it's version 1.49) and it has two entries that look 
appropriate:

    [...]
    # One, and probably the most common, use could be:
    #
    #CFLAGS= -O2 -m486 -pipe

    [...]

    # To compile the kernel with special optimisations, you can use this:
    #
    #COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe

As you can see, COPTFLAGS is as you suggest, CFLAGS is exactly as Robert
quoted.
