   I want to append switches to CXXFLAGS but not in CFLAGS.  This:   
      
      append-flags "-fno-strict-aliasing -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions"   
      
   will append those switches to both CFLAGS as well as CXXFLAGS, which I   
   don't want.  Any solution?   
      
   PS:   
   The first switch (-fno-strict-aliasing) is needed; the C++ part of the   
   program segfaults otherwise on some systems with -O2 and higher (not on   
   mine though, but I want to contribute the ebuild).  It's safe with -O1   
   (even when using "-O1 -fstrict-aliasing); probably a compiler bug, not   
   sure.  The C part of the program isn't affected so this switch isn't   
   needed in CFLAGS.   
      
   The other flags are just to "optimize" a bit; the package doesn't use   
   RTTI nor exceptions so I think it's a good idea to use those flags for a   
   slightly smaller runtime.  Those flags are never in the global CXXFLAGS   
   since they simply break packages that do use RTTI and exceptions.
