According to the build configuration, Buildroot defines some
compiler/linker flags.

For CMake packages, these flags are passed thanks to the
toolchainfile.cmake file, which is filled by Buildroot.

The toolchainfile.cmake should make sure the flags preset by Buildroot
are correctly passed to the compiler, while it should also allow passing
per-package flags using the standard CMake variables for this.

This is achieved using the 'set' CMake command to extend the standard
CMAKE_{C,CXX,LINKER}_FLAGS variables.
However, we have to be careful with the option passed to the 'set'
command [1] to make sure even these cache entry will be
extended/overwritten; otherwise the preset value will take precedence
(the per-package flags in Buildroot case) and the variable will not be
extended.

So, this change makes sure the toolchainfile.camke file will actually
extend/overwrite the compiler and linker flags with the Buildroot's
predefined flags.

 I was going to ack this, and then I noticed that it reverts

    toolchainfile.cmake.in: do not force the CMAKE_{C, CXX}_FLAGS to the cache

    Fix #7280 [1]

    When the FORCE option is passed to the set command, the variable is
    added/updated in the CMake cache every single time CMake processes this
    command.

    Because the toolchainfile.cmake prepends architecture/toolchain flags
    to the CMAKE_{C,CXX}_FLAGS, this makes the CFLAGS being updated in the
    generated Makefiles each time one reconfigures its project. So it
    forces the compilation of everything, even when nothing has changed.

    [1] https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=7280

And indeed, with this change the CMakeCache.txt in opencv3 has the CXXFLAGS
twice. I don't really understand why, though, because cmake runs only once and
before it runs, CMakeCache.txt is removed. And to make it really weird: when I
run opencv3-reconfigure, it appears only once... I tried with a different
package too (flann), same behaviour.

 Anyway, I think the doubling of CXXFLAGS isn't that bad, and adding the FORCE
actually solves something. So

but we really should try to find out why the options are doubled...

 Arnout

This is unfortunate :-/ What bug is the worst?...

Actually, I learned it yesterday. The toolchain file is parsed once
per active language, so twice in opencv because C and C++ are enabled.
I'll see if I can figure out something to avoid this side effect.
