+Subject: [PATCH] dont include target CFLAGS in host LDFLAGS
+
+Building the host tool 'mkbuiltins' will fail if the target CFLAGS
+contains an option which isn't supported by the host's gcc. To prevent
+the issue, define LDFLAGS_FOR_BUILD based on CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD instead
+of CFLAGS.

+On hosts with FORTIFY_SOURCES, stringize support is required, as it's used by
+the macros to wrap functions (e.g. read and open in unistd.h). Those wrappers
+use the STRING() macro from unistd.h. A header in the bash sources overrides
+the unistd.h macro to 'x' when HAVE_STRINGIZE is not defined, causing the
+wrappers to generate calls to 'xread' and 'xopen', which do not exist,
+resulting in a failure to link.
+
+Assume we have stringize support when cross-compiling, which works around the
+issue.
+
+It may be best for upstream to either give up on supporting compilers without
+stringize support, or to not define STRING() at all when FORTIFY_SOURCES is
+defined, letting the unistd.h one be used, instead.
