/etc/make.conf questions

I have successfully installed gentoo, but I think my /etc/make.conf file is not right.
When I was doing emerge xfree, I noticed after it downloaded and while it was compiling I noticed the following error.
gcc unrecognized option '-03' I'm assuming that refers to the -03 in the CFLAGS line.

could someone post a sample file for a Pentium 4,
do you need a # sign in front of the CHOST, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS lines?
I think my CFLAGS line is
CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe
as far as CXXFLAGS goes, I think it said not to do anything if you want the CFLAGS line above to be the same??
I'm pretty sure I got the CHOST line right
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
but I don't have a # sign in front of any of these lines.

I have installed succesfully to this point, even compiled the kernel right this time so that wvdial works so I could get online after rebooting from install, If I have to edit my /etc/make.conf file now, will the system be screwed up from compiling the kernel and xfree with the old /etc/make.conf file?

Hm.
1) Is that "zero three" or "O three"? The latter; -O3 is the correct one.
2) I don't have any P4 myself, but this should do:
CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
3) No, if you have a '#' sign before, the line is commented out, which means it'll be ignored.
4) No, editing it afterwards is just fine most (all?) of the time.

Thanks Jarjar, good call on your part, I used Zero (03) not O3 (capital O).

thardy01, I think I can actually answer this one, if we are talking about USE flags. emerge ufed, then run ufed, it is a Graphical program on setting USE flags and has a description of what each one does.

Here are my important variables in make.conf for the Pentium 4 processor which I've had no problems with at all.
