Why do you need to write things that are by default as they are in your config (not counting missed flags)?

I've always specified my flags in make.conf, and always specified a cputype. I've never had problems because of it. You can cause gcc to produce better-optimized code for your platform by using it appropriately.
I'd be interested in seeing what sort of problems you've had because of it though - it's possible you pinched a few gcc bugs, which is always interesting and noteworthy - on a seperate thread.
