``/etc/profile'' is the appropriate place to put global environment
variables.
You should consider why you need to set CFLAGS across all users, though.
Individual users can set the variable in their ``~/.profile'' or
``~/.bash_rc'' (or whatever is appropriate for your shell). There is
little point setting this variable for users that do not have access to
the compiler suite, or never use it. CFLAGS should not need to be set
for root because you should never compile software as root.
