Thanks Dan,

I send-pr'd this solution because "editing" compiler flags seems
more appropriate than Jeremy's suggestion that I can only see how
to replace or add compiler flags with and it's currently not
implemented on a port-by-port basis.

On a related question, I pkgview'd several packages and they seem
to be working fine, should I send-pr each one of them or is there
a leaner way of doing this?

Thanks for pointing this one out! I remember looking at it once but forgot
all about it. ;)
