 through the `etc/conf` configuration file for the `xbps-src` utility; optionally if
 `~/.xbps-src.conf` exists it's also read after `etc/conf`.
 
+If you want to customize default `CFLAGS`, `CXXFLAGS` and `LDFLAGS`, don't override
+those defined in `etc/defaults.conf`, append to them instead via `etc/conf` i.e:
