I knew the answer was probably simply, but I'm not too familiar with how
the *.mk files interact.

I played around with the port of top-3.3, and found that if I changed the
Makefile in top/work from

CDEF = -O
CFLAGS = -DHAVE_GETOPT $(CDEF)

to

#CDEF = -O
CFLAGS += -DHAVE_GETOPT $(CDEF)

The build does the Right Thing.  Should this type of change be added to
the GUIDELINES for porting to FreeBSD?  I admit I like the convenience
of the ports, but I don't want to edit the Makefile(s) in every port to
include CFLAGS = -O2 -m486 -pipe (e.g., consider the fun of editing the
Makefiles in XFree86).


Rod, do you have a separate business related email address?
