While compile natively, the hosts cflags and ldflags are equal to ones
used from HOSTCFLAGS and HOSTLDFLAGS. When cross compiling it should
have own, used for target arch. While verification, for arm, arm64 and
x86_64 the following flags were used alsways:

-Wall
-O2
-fomit-frame-pointer
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wstrict-prototypes

So, add them as they were verified and used before adding
Makefile.target, but anyway limit it only for cross compile options as
for host can be some configurations when another options can be used,
So, for host arch samples left all as is, it allows to avoid potential
option mistmatches for existent environments.

Specifying one arg per line seems like overkill, put them in one line?

Why this one?

Are these in some way special that we want them in cross-compile mode only?

All of those flags seem useful regardless of cross-compilation or not,
shouldn't they be common? I'm a bit lost about the intent here...

Will combine.

I've explained in commit msg. The logic is to have as much as close options
to have smiliar binaries. As those options are used before for hosts and kinda
cross builds - better follow same way.

They are common but split is needed to expose it at least. Also host for
different arches can have some own opts already used that shouldn't be present
for cross, better not mix it for safety.

I'm just asking why omit frame pointers and make it harder to do stuff
like profiling? What performance benefits are we seeking for in BPF
samples?

We want -Wmissing-prototypes and -Wstrict-prototypes for cross-compile
and non-cross-compile cases, right? So let's specify them as common
set of options, instead of relying on KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS or
HOST_EXTRACFLAGS to have them. Otherwise we'll be getting extra
warnings for just cross-compile case, which is not good. If you are
worrying about having duplicate -W flags, seems like it's handled by
GCC already, so shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, lets drop omit-frame-pointer.

But then, lets do more radical step and drop
KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS & HOST_EXTRACFLAG in this patch:

-ifdef CROSS_COMPILE
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wall -O2
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wmissing-prototypes
+TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wstrict-prototypes
-else
-TPROGS_LDLIBS := $(KBUILD_HOSTLDLIBS)
-TPROGS_CFLAGS += $(KBUILD_HOSTCFLAGS) $(HOST_EXTRACFLAGS)
-endif

At least it allows to use same options always for both, native and cross.

I verified on native x86_64, arm64 and arm and cross for arm and arm64,
but should work for others, at least it can be tuned explicitly and
no need to depend on KBUILD and use "cross" fork here.

Yeah, let's do this, if you confirmed that everything still works (and
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't). Thanks.
