No, he's wrong, IMO.  CC, CXX are the correct variables to set.  The
reason is that CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS should be used for optimization and
flags that are architecture independent while the architecture dependent
flags should be passed with the CC, CXX variables.  This allows the
configure script to use the architecture dependent flags in it's checks
for what's available.  Otherwise, you might misconfigure the package.

Cheers,
Earnie.
