Examples, please.

Most GNU packages (at least their latest releases) use CFLAGS in
linking.  Automake generates these Makefiles automatically, so any
package that uses Automake will have that.  Including Cdecl, for 
example ;-).

I understand that one reason for this is that people are used to say
"make CFLAGS=-pg" and expect it to DTRT.
