Thanks for the review. Is the change below OK with you? I can update it
before sending a new series.

Many projects include lib.mk, but most do not include
tools/scripts/Makefile.include.  Without it, the appended EXTRA_CFLAGS
cannot be inherited.  This is why I did not touch those projects.

Appending EXTRA_CFLAGS in lib.mk may not be a good idea ? as such a
global change could break some builds.

Thanks,
