compiler options

[Gentree]

I am emerging some apps as a first installation.

as the compilation progresses I see gcc output showing lines like to followng;

gcc -DHAVE....................... -mcpu i686 -03 ...............

I have set /etc/make.conf to -march athlon in CFLAGS and uncommented the CXXFLAGs line to be the same.

Why does gcc not appear to use these settings?

Thanks.

For "safe" compilation of some packages portage disables certain CFLAGS (just for those packages)...
