I don't know if we have this cc-option, perhaps Ingo is suggesting we
get it in tools/build/? Or include scripts/Kbuild.include and then use
it?

I.e. we have checks to see if we can use, for instance
-fstack-protector-all, see tools/build/feature/Makefile, usong this
cc-option thing, importing it from Kbuild would solve the issue at
hand in a definitive way and in line with what we have been pursuing:
to make the tools/ build system be based on Kbuild.
