${DEFCOPTS} doesn't work for other parts of the build, only ${COPTS}.
I have something like this in "/etc/mk.conf":

    HOST_CFLAGS?=          -O2 -march=k6

    .if     ${MACHINE} == "i386"
    COPTS?=                -O2 -mcpu=k6
    .elif   ${MACHINE} == "mac68k"
    COPTS?=                -O2 -m68020-40
    .endif

So, the tools get built with "-O2 -march=k6", the i386 release gets
built with "-O2 -mcpu=k6", and so on. Note the question mark '?'!
Without that, you're likely to break the INSTALL* kernels.
