allowing -save-temps when building the kernel

I find -save-temps useful to help debug problems with the preprocessor.

I don't see a good way to add this to a linux build...

Also, it conflicts with -pipe (pipe takes precedence).

This is wrt 2.0.33:

: leisner@dw;rcsdiff -u arch/i386/boot/Makefile
rcsdiff: arch/i386/boot/RCS/Makefile,v: No such file or directory

ifdef CONFIG_M386
CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS) -m386 -DCPU=386

Doing
make PIPE=-save-temps

did exactly what I wanted.
