perf tools: Options being passed to clang when building the BPF part of skels

Hi,
On gentoo I'm noticing this:
clang-16clang-16: : clang-16error: : error: clang-16clang-16: clang-16clang-16clang-16: clang-16error: clang-16: : ignoring '-fstack-protector-strong' option as it is not currently supported for target 'bpf' [-Werror,-Woption-ignored]: : : clang-16error: ignoring '-fstack-protector-strong' option as it is not currently supported for target 'bpf' [-Werror,-Woption-ignored]error: error: :

And while just doing:

"Fixes" it, I'm curious as where is that we're setting up the options
that are being passed to clang at:
tools/perf/Makefile.perf
$(SKEL_TMP_OUT)/%.bpf.o: util/bpf_skel/%.bpf.c $(LIBBPF) $(SKEL_OUT)/vmlinux.h | $(SKEL_TMP_OUT)
$(QUIET_CLANG)$(CLANG) -g -O2 --target=bpf -Wall -Werror $(BPF_INCLUDE) $(TOOLS_UAPI_INCLUDE) \
-c $(filter util/bpf_skel/%.bpf.c,$^) -o $@
Perhaps it is plain just using CFLAGS? I.e. maybe the native build
CFLAGS is being passed to the BPF target clang calls?
Ideas?
