Let the user choose the CFLAGS. Just give a hint in the README about
adding optimized CFLAGS. Otherwise the package will always work only on
hosts with exactly the same architecture as the target host (or, in your
case, the build host), maybe even causing problems when exchanging
mainboard + CPU of the target host (because the old ones died).
If you have different code for different CPUs (e.g. Athlon-optimized
assembler code), compile all of those and choose one at runtime.
