This affects the tools build. If the extra flags really should go to the
end, then APPEND_CFLAGS can be reused and the ordering change above can
be removed.

I cant comment on that.

What I have seen right now is that other external tools may need their
own EXTRA_CFLAGS_xx variable. Like gcc47 is currently unhappy with ipxe
at least.
