our build system exports CFLAGS and most package accepts it, except a
few ones, like madwifi. the typical "crosscompiling" is using
"-march=i486" on an i686 machine, so that the binaries will be usable
on any 486+ pc. if the package ignores CFLAGS, then the binary will
not be usable on a 486 or pentium machine, only on pentium2+ ones
