This might need an up-to-date check for the lklib.a archive first and
not do "new build flags or prefix" if it is. Yeah, this is a different
library and the logic doesn't know about it.

Right, the whole scheme with the include paths is kinda shaky. I have
the -I$(CURDIR)/lib BASIC_CFLAGS in the top Makefile for the case where
we're in tools/ but this doesn't help with the -C switch as you show
above.

Maybe we should add more logic later to make the include path guessing
more robust no matter from which directory you execute make instead of
polluting BASIC_CFLAGS with duplicated path entries ... Hmmm...
