This broke cross-compilation using a cross-compiler that supports less
compiler options than the host compiler. E.g.:

    cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-unused-but-set-variable"

Reverting commit ae6b289a37890909 ("kbuild: Set KBUILD_CFLAGS before incl.
arch Makefile", which was in linux-next since next-20171124) fixes that.

BTW, this gets broken regularly, cfr. e.g. commits a1c48bb160f8368e ("Makefile:
Fix unrecognized cross-compiler command line options") and bef5b54bd7bf8117
("Fix MIPS cross-compile problem").

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,

                        Geert

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
