This is not good.
The .S -> .s is used for assembly.

An additional rule is needed:

Something like:
quiet_cmd_cpp_lds_S    = LDS    $@
      cmd_cpp_lds_S    = $(CPP) $(cpp_flags) -o $@ $<

%.lds: %.lds.S FORCE
	$(call if_changed_dep,cpp_lds_S)


Adding a new rule it no longer are acceptable to misuse
AFLAGS for this. So you have to add support for a new
set of flags.
Better name them with CPP so they can be used for other
preprocessings tasks later if needed.

So in Makefile.lib you need to add cpp_flags like a_flags
but using CPPFLAGS, EXTRA_CPPFLAGS, and CPPFLAGS_@

Try building a clean kernel after implementing this.

Thanks,
