Remember the old code had CFLAGS="" in lots of platforms, meaning they
got no optimization.

It seems right now Alpha is our only problem, and it is really just a
message problem because the later flags override the earlier ones.  Why
can't get just remove -O2 from the alpha CFLAGS line via makefile magic?
Frankly, we could just do CFLAGS="-O" and be done with it because we
would not be bringing in the -O2, but I would rather keep it clean and
remove just -O2.

I don't think going backwards is a good solution because it spreads the
problem down to the templates again.
