An alternative proposal: add a opt-out/opt-in flag (similar to _hardened_build)
%global _strict_c_flags 0/1
so that various packages can override the default provided by redhat-rpm-config.
This could be used to quickly disable the new flags for broken packages.

If redhat-rpm-config is changed to not provide the new flags by default,
_strict_c_flags=1 could be used request them. This would make it easier
to gradually reintroduce the feature.
