*hehehe* i don't think so.

i just saw a lot of these lines in buildworld:

clang++ -O2 -pipe -DNDEBUG -g -I/usr/obj/usr/subversion-src/tmp/legacy/usr/include -I/usr/subversion-src/gnu/usr.bin/gperf/../../../contrib/gperf/lib -I/usr/subversion-src/gnu/usr.bin/gperf -g -c /usr/subversion-src/gnu/usr.bin/gperf/../../../contrib/gperf/lib/hash.cc
clang++: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-g'
clang++: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-g'

as you can see -g gets specified twice, so i thought maybe adding -g to CFLAGS makes adding it to CXXFLAGS obsolete.

cheers.
