We also have archs where we add options to gcc that may
impact for example -fno-stack-protector.
We had a bug in x86 in this area for a while.
So the only sane thing is to only add the most generic options to
KBUILD_CFLAGS before we include the arch specific part.
And we can then add the conditional options later - like
the KBUILD_CFLAGS += $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)
in this case.
We learned a few lessons in this area over time as your
history digging also showed.
