FWIW I think Simon meant:

CFLAGS=" ${CFLAGS}" ; CFLAGS=${CFLAGS// -fremoved}

assuming that adding the space was done to catch flags that match part
of longer flags.

Watch also for flags that start with the same string; for example:

  CFLAGS=${CFLAGS// -finline-functions}

would end up with "-called-once" in CFLAGS, if
"-finline-functions-called-once" was set.

Another easy one is doing:

  CFLAGS=${CFLAGS// -g}

when CFLAGS has "-ggdb2" or similar set...
