Certainly Makefile.local is not included as early as make.conf, and so
may not be used for every purpose for which make.conf may be used.
But with regard to the topic of this thread, Makefile.local is
included before options-handling, and the test for inclusion of
bsd.gcc.mk. Why did you think otherwise? Using Makefile.local is
generally safer because of its narrower scope, and because it cannot
be included multiple times if make(1) is invoked recursively, unlike
make.conf.
