CFLAGS_file.o gets appended to the CFLAGS. For example, after my updated
patch[1], the command line for syscall_64.o looks like this:

gcc -Wp,-MMD,arch/x86/entry/.syscall_64.o.d  -nostdinc -isystem \
...
-Wframe-larger-than=2048 -fstack-protector-strong \
...
-fno-stack-protector -Wno-override-init \
-DKBUILD_MODFILE='"arch/x86/entry/syscall_64"' \
-DKBUILD_BASENAME='"syscall_64"' \
-DKBUILD_MODNAME='"syscall_64"' \
-c -o arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.o \
arch/x86/entry/syscall_64.c
