[PATCH 3/6] libbpf: Initialize CFLAGS before including Makefile.include
From: Leo Yan
Date: Mon Mar 23 2026 - 11:58:14 EST
tools/scripts/Makefile.include may expand EXTRA_CFLAGS in a future
change. This could alter the initialization of CFLAGS, as the default
options "-g -O2" would never be set once EXTRA_CFLAGS is expanded.
Prepare for this by moving the CFLAGS initialization before including
tools/scripts/Makefile.include, so it is not affected by the extended
EXTRA_CFLAGS.
Append EXTRA_CFLAGS to CFLAGS only after including Makefile.include and
place it last so that the extra flags propagate properly and can
override the default options.
tools/scripts/Makefile.include already appends $(CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS) to
CFLAGS, the Makefile appends $(CLANG_CROSS_FLAGS) again, remove the
redundant append.
