Slackware != Gentoo

On Gentoo we have to provide support for each possible combination of
USE flags, CFLAGS, and compiler versions on 32-bit and 64-bit systems,
on little endian and big endian systems, and with mix of stable and
testing packages. Slackware just has to get things to compile and work
once.
