	That would have been a problem for kernel compiles - cpuflags
	adds ${DEFCOPTS} to ${COPTS} to avoid this. Before august
	'02 it didn't do this which was decidedly suboptimal.

	If cpuflags detects you are cross compiling it avoids setting
	any compiler flags :)

	If anyone finds cpuflags doesn't pick the right flags for any
	situation - just let me know :)
