An example of this is building GCC with a non GCC compiler. So
how do
we handle that case, we split out STAGE1_CFLAGS and BOOT_CFLAGS.
This proves the necessity of two different controls, namely
BOOT_CFLAGS and STAGE1_CFLAGS.
For consitency I would propose to use the name STAGE0_CFLAGS instead
of BOOT_CFLAGS,
because the stages are actually enumerated in a sequence anyway.
