The rationale for placement of `CPPFLAGS` early is to allow users to better
control include ordering. This is similar to why `CFLAGS` is last.
Consider this situation :
User wants to preempt the default include path, and wants to override the C
standard.
make CPPFLAGS='-Ifoo/bar' CFLAGS='-std=c1

It may not be uncommon, but it is a usage bug to use CFLAGS for
pre-processor options.
Hello,
I've found that everywhere in autoconf scripts flags are used like:
$CC -c $CFLAGS $CPPFLAGS conftest.$ac_ext >&AS_MESSAGE_LOG_FD
while automake and libtool use flags in the other order:
$(CC) $(DEFS) $(DEFAULT_INCLUDES) $(INCLUDES) $(AM_CPPFLAGS) $(CPPFLAGS)
$(AM_CFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)
