cool!

i think it would be simpler to just compile with those options by default. 

more specifically, in ./configure:

- test for the existance of getconf
- test for non-empty output of getconf LFS_CFLAGS
- if non-empty, append it to CFLAGS
- provide a way to disable that


if no one has any objections i guess i can take a stab at this.
