Rust started to do something different from C.


KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS is not affected by any CONFIG option.

The reason is because HOSTCC is needed for building Kconfig.
If the flags for HOSTCC is changed by a CONFIG option,
it would be a chicken-egg problem.
Also, some host programs might be compiled even
without .config at all. (e.g. scripts/unifdef)


I know Rust will not become a part of the core infrastructure
of the build system, but IMHO, host programs should not be
affected by any CONFIG option.

I do not like this patch.
