I think because bootstrapping is actually special compared to normal building of other programs.

For BOOT_CFLAGS and STAGE1_CFLAGS, if we change them to be affected by CFLAGS, we are going to run into issues where the compiler you are building with understand an option but the bootstrapping one does not. An example of this is building GCC with a non GCC compiler. So how do we handle that case, we split out STAGE1_CFLAGS and BOOT_CFLAGS. Thanks, Andrew Pinski
