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.
