+Makefile: append the CFLAGS to existing ones

+Allow the user to pass custom CFLAGS (eg. optimisation flags).
+
+Do not use EXTRA_CFLAGS, append to existing CFLAGS with +=  (Arnout)

+Patch not sent upstream.
+
+Although not specific to buildroot, I am not sure this is the best
+way to handle user-supplied CFLAGS.
