Specifying one arg per line seems like overkill, put them in one line?

Why this one?

> +TPROGS_CFLAGS += -Wstrict-prototypes

Are these in some way special that we want them in cross-compile mode only?

All of those flags seem useful regardless of cross-compilation or not,
shouldn't they be common? I'm a bit lost about the intent here...
