It seems this explains part of how it works, but not what the commit
adds and why, i.e. could we start with "Add `rustc-bindgen-option`..."
etc.?

By the way, shouldn't this just be called `bindgen-option`? Up to the
Kbuild team.

More importantly, should we just have a separate function for backend
flags? That would be easier and would avoid having to use the
environment variable, if I understand the commit message here
correctly. And, anyway, it is actually the only function we need so
far.

Maybe just "y if bindgen supports"?

Thanks!
