Well, that is simple enough to find out..
git show 77433830ed164
just tells us.
Of course, that also points to scripts/Makefile.lib, which doesn't
have this problem, because it keeps c_flags and a_flags nicely
separated.
Anyway, that just makes me think that something like that patch in my
previous email is the way to go, but I would like to stress (again)
how little testing it had: exactly none.
So please consider that nothing more than a hand-wavy "something like this".
