We can't use ALL_CFLAGS because in the cross compilation case, it
might contain some compiler directives that make sense for the target
platform, but not for the host platform.  BUILD_CFLAGS is specifically
designed for this case.  For programs like gen_crc32ctable that need
to compiled and run on the host OS, you have to do the following so
the right thing happens when you are cross-compiling e2fsprogs (yes,
there are people who do this!):

gen_crc32ctable: $(srcdir)/gen_crc32ctable.c
	$(E) "	CC $@"
	$(Q) $(BUILD_CC) $(BUILD_CFLAGS) -o gen_crc32ctable \
		$(srcdir)/gen_crc32ctable.c

Note the use of $(BUILD_CC) instead of $(CC).

The better fix is to note that gen_crc32ctable doesn't actually need
anything from ext2fs.h, and move that #include to crc32c.c.

    libext2fs: move #include "ext2fs.h" from crc32c_defs.h to crc32c.c
    
    The byte swap functions which are defined in ext2fs.h are only needed
    by crc32.c, and not by gen_crc32ctable.c.  The gen_crc32ctable program
    needs to be compiled on the host OS, where ext2fs.h may not be
    present.  So move the use of the header function to crc32c.c, to avoid
    compilation problems.
