I don't think what CFLAGS you are using matters for using
systemd-nspawn, but In my tests, It can be used for typical chroot and
installation of a stage3 with openrc, but if you want to use '-b' to
boot the container you need systemd on host and container.
Here's another guide[1] by a gentoo dev, but on CFLAGS, -march=native
and using distcc.
