For a while at university I had export CFLAGS="-g -Wall -Werror" in my 
.zshrc
% make some_program
saved a couple of keystrokes to achieve the same. Then I had that bug 
that resulted in me making the executive decision to never have CFLAGS 
set in my shell ever again under any circumstances. Funny how I can't 
even remember exactly what the bug was now but it hasn't dulled the 
sharp end of the memory...
