Profiles make.defaults file
The make.defaults file in profiles/ provides a minimal set
of defaults for the kinds of values which may be set in
make.conf (CFLAGS,
USE, FEATURES etc.) along with certain control variables
(e.g. USE_EXPAND). These values can further be refined by additional
make.defaults files in subprofiles.
In general, make.defaults should not be modified without consulting the
relevant arch team, or gentoo-dev for high-up make.defaults files.
