Bad advice.  A typical user should not change CFLAGS or NOPROFILE.

Better advice.  Examine these and change them if you can decide that they
are relevant to you or want to learn what they do by making mistakes with
them.

Indded.  What it says it to copy the CFLAGS and NOPROFILE lines from
/etc/defaults/make.conf to /etc/make.conf and uncomment them.  Copying
CFLAGS and uncommenting is bogus since it just gives -O -pipe if
correctly copied, but -O -pipe is the default.  If incorrectly copied,
then it gives a syntax error.  Copying and uncommenting the NOPROFILE
gives a small optimization if profiling is not used.
