Maybe add more background in the commit log that, the default
MAKEFLAGS in Makefile under Linux's root directory is with "-rR".
Before commit d1d096312176 is applied, the -rR is overwriten by
the subdirectory's MAKEFLAGS, so it will not cause problems when
compiling the sub-directory of tools. After commit d1d096312176,
the -rR takes effect, which prevents the tools from using the
built-in rules and variables. Maybe also added Fixed: tag.

Regarding the prfut Makefile, we have fixed the LDFLAGS issue,
but the CFLAGS += xxx will not take effect, right?

This reminds me that, is it possible to just remove -rR for the
sub-directories? In this way we don't have to change the code of
every tool one-by-one, pfrut, firewire...
Cced Masahiro for guidance.
