+ <p>
+ The CFLAGS variable contains flags that you want to pass on to your compiler
+ when it is building C programs. These flags can contain optimizations that
+ you wish to use. Please use sane settings as overoptimizations have an
+ average effect. See /etc/make.conf.examples for examples and sane defaults.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ For more information on the possible flags, see the "Invoking GCC" chapter
+ of the online GCC documentation at <uri
+ link="http://gcc.gnu.org">gcc.gnu.org</uri>.

+ The CONFIG_PROTECT variable is a variable you can define in
+ /etc/make.conf. It contains a space-delimited list of directories that
+ will be protected by Portage' configuration file protection.

+ <p>
+ With the CONFIG_PROTECT_MAKE variable, which you can set in
+ /etc/make.conf, you can have a space-delimited list of directories which
+ should not be protected by Portage's configuration file protection but are
+ currently protected because their parent directories are.
