As a user, I had the same thought.  Why not have portage set it
appropriately unless the user has explicitly defined it?  That of course
is making the assumption that someone who has explictly set the CBUILD
variable knows what they are doing, since they had to go through the
trouble of learning about it and the fact that they could set it.
