Doh. That's what I get for looking in mk.* fragments instead of conf files.

is setting CPUFLAGS in the conf file preferred to adding the option to
CFLAGS in the mk fragment?

Also, is "-march= -mtune=" preferred to "-mcpu=" even if the kernel is only
going to run on a specific arm cpu?

Our current approach is to set -mcpu in the mk fragment, but that's
just what I stumbled on, and we'd rather be consistent with other
ports.

Thanks for all the help.
