[PATCH] cmake.bbclass: modify construction of compiler flags

[PATCH] cmake.bbclass: modify construction of compiler flags

[Joe Slater]

Use CFLAGS instead of CPPFLAGS for C_FLAGS variants.
Also remove duplicate flags from _RELEASE variants.

This change says what you're doing but not really why. How are things
broken and why is this an improvement?

Cheers,

The specific problem is that, since CFLAGS are ignored, there is no difference
between debug (-O0) and production (-O2) builds.  It also seems counter-intuitive
that CXX_FLAGS are based on CXXFLAGS, but C_FLAGS are not based on CFLAGS.
