I think CFLAGS is a variable which is expanded late, at each reference
site - a `recursively expanded' variable.

The result is that the call to the compiler to test the -Og flag
(implied by cc-option) will be executed potentially for every C source
code file!

I think you need to use cc-option-add.

Ian.
