Edit site.conf, what you enter in site.conf is inserted into the makefiles
between 'Makefile.conf' and the target makefile (in each subdirectory).

So you can over-ride or manipulate the 'COPTS' variable for your
platform.

An autoconf build environment is on the wishlist for a future release.


Note that building at -O2 and -Wall will produce some warnings.  The
heritage of the build environment has been -g.  It only recently moved
to -O -g on some gcc platforms, which enabled some additional warnings
and were silenced.

-O2 enables another set of warnings, and they will be triggered.

So -O2 -Wall -Werror probably isn't advisable unless you enjoy pain.
