As I suspected it, you have a space where none should be!
Delete the space before the '=' character and all should be fine.

Hi,
I was trying to put an alternative boot2 on a freebsd 5.4 box.
With the -s option disappeared from 5.4 disklabel, how do I put a

/usr/ports/databases/mysql41-server and
/usr/ports/databases/mysql40-server

turned on.
'CFLAGS=' fails on 4.x releases;
'CFLAGS=-O' works. (
