Because $CPPFLAGS are not flags for C++ files (CXXFLAGS are for
C++ files), but flags for the preprocessor (cpp).
Compiling a normal C file needs $CPPFLAGS and $CFLAGS, linking a
C object file needs $CFLAGS and $LDFLAGS ($CFLAGS because some
linker options can create code which then uses $CFLAGS).

Fortify Source functions are missing because the $CPPFLAGS are
not passed to gcc.
