/usr/src/sys/dev/aic7xxx errors when compiling

[den]

You are right - only COPTFLAGS used when you compiling the kernel.
BUT YOU should note that when you compile the kernel you don't compile  
only it !
You also compile many modules . You have problem namely with module.
So

COPTFLAGS= -O2 -pipe -funroll-loops

has affect only on kernel. But

CFLAGS= -O3 -pipe -funroll-loops

will be used for compiling your modules. In other words kernel will be optimized
with -O2 , but modules will be optimized with -O3.
Actually you don't have problem with compiling your KERNEL. You have problem
with compiling some modules.
My solution actually - compiling with option -O2 such modules that cannot be compiled with -O3  .
All other modules I has compiled with -O3.
