Thanks for fixing this all up.

I think that if git sees this as the "ccflags" change on one side of the
merge and "ccflags" change plus your change on the other and decides that
it conflicts.  It considers the two "ccflags" changes to be different
because they are not the same commit (even if they have the same patch).

Thanks.  You don't need to worry about simple conflicts like this, Linus
and I are both quite happy with fixing them up - though I will still
report them, just so people know what is going on.
