Well, I couldn't really get sed to work, but I figured out how to do
with just a patch that comments out all the CFLAGS in the Makefile.  One
thing, though, is that it wouldn't compile correctly unless I left in
the "CFLAGS += -DARCH_X86 -DLINUX" (it was just =, but I changed it to
+= to include make.conf settings).  Also in the Makefile is a "CC =
gcc".  Is this really necessary?  Without it, though, make just calls cc
instead of gcc.
