Note however that upstream code is anyway buggy. If CFLAGS contain, in
that order:

    -fno-finite-math-only -ffinite-math-only

then the condition will evaluate to false, and thus the test will not
abort, but still this would be incorrect, as -ffinite-math-only would
win the setting because it comes last...

So presumably, we should even be able to do:

    SYSTEMD_CFLAGS = $(TARGET_CFLAGS) -fno-finite-math-only -ffinite-math-only

which would again break the build....

Even if we do not do that ourselves, nothing prevents a suer from
providing that in their BR2_TARGET_OPTIMIZATION. But then, we can't
protect people from shooting themselves in the foot... ;-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
