The intent really was that the later assigment takes into account the
earlier one, by means of shell expansion. Setting OPT to a value that
depends on CFLAGS would give you a cyclic expansion in the Makefile
- so that clearly was not the intent.

You need to set both because one ends up in the Makefile (OPT) whereas
the other (CFLAGS) is needed to convince configure that HAVE_LARGEFILE
should be turned on.
