What's with CFLAGS?

I haven't been working with pre-built binary packages yet. But I
imagine something flexible, between distant compiler and a server
keeping the binaries. For my cases, from Raspberry Pis up to AMD
Ryzens, I love to have this server to just receive the requests what
and how to compile and keep exactly the packages which are
requested so it can be distributed if requested again.

Thanks
