This seems reasonable to remove.
If anything, we should have support for setting custom cflags on a
per-package basis in mk.conf, rather than an open-coded version of that
abstraction in particular makefiles.
However, I do wonder what the motivation was for adding this. Did the
commit message that added it say anything useful? The comments in the
Makefile do not. (Really the explanation/justification belongs in the
Makefile.)
