It is an ugly hack to overwrite $(HOSTCC) with $(CC) to reuse the
build rules from scripts/Makefile.host.  It should not be tedious
to write a build rule for its own.

that is a hack indeed. I don't like it either, but see below.

Does this scale?
Please see two top patches here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ast/bpf.git/log/?h=ipt_bpf
that add more meat to bpfilter and a lot more files.
Recompiling all of them at once isn't nice either.
This Makefile needs different .c -> .o rules for bpfilter_kern.c files
that get compiled into kernel module and for the rest of umh files:
main.c ctor.c init.c gen.c etc
that need to be compiled .c -> .o differently.
I don't see how to do it without ugly hacks in Makefile.
In that sense HOSTCC = CC hack looked the least ugly to me that's
why I went with it.
Better ideas?

Oh, I just thought main.c was the only user-program file.

Indeed.

It should be able to compile .c -> .o separately.

I will think about it after your patches land.

I will drop this for now.
