This patch is causing the following warnings:

tools/locktest/Makefile.am:4: warning: 'CFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;
tools/locktest/Makefile.am:4: use 'AM_CFLAGS' instead
tools/locktest/Makefile.am:5: warning: 'CPPFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;
tools/locktest/Makefile.am:5: use 'AM_CPPFLAGS' instead
tools/locktest/Makefile.am:6: warning: 'LDFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;
tools/locktest/Makefile.am:6: use 'AM_LDFLAGS' instead
tools/rpcgen/Makefile.am:4: warning: 'CFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;

tools/rpcgen/Makefile.am:6: warning: 'LDFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override it;

You didn't see these in your testing?

Also what exactly broke that this patch fixes?
