We could extend kbuild to support something like this:

    ccflags-<filename>-y := -Werror

Sample:

    ccflags-sched.o-$(CONFIG_WERROR) := -Werror

The above is a nice counterpart to the existing ccflags-y.
And we could then deprecate CLFAGS_<filename> as we have today.

To remove options we could use:

ccflags-<filename>-remove-y := -pg

This is a replacement of the undocumented CFLAGS_REMOVE_<filename> variant.

Today:
    ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER
    CFLAGS_REMOVE_lockdep.o = -pg
    endif

Could be replaced with:

   ccflags-lockdep.o-remove-$(CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER) := -pg

The ifdef often cover more than one file so we save less lines in
reality than the example says.


All looks rather trivial to implement.
But it is maybe a bit too cryptic?
