Sometimes passing variables to tools/build is dangerous. For example, on
my platform there is a gcc problem (gcc 4.8.1):
It passes the stackprotector-all feature check:
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all -c ./test.c
$ echo $?
0
But requires LDFLAGS support if separate compiling and linking:
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all -c ./test.c
$ gcc ./test.o
./test.o: In function `main':
test.c:(.text+0xb): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
test.c:(.text+0x21): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_guard'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
$ gcc -fstack-protector-all ./test.o
$ echo $?
0
$ gcc ./test.o -lssp
$ echo $?
0
$
In this environment building perf throws an error:
$ make

This is because the CFLAGS used in building perf pollutes the CFLAGS
used for fixdep, passing -fstack-protector-all to buiold fixdep which is
obviously not required. Since fixdep is a small host side tool, we
should keep its CFLAGS/LDFLAGS simple and clean.
This patch clears the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS passed when building fixdep, so
such gcc problem won't block the perf build process.
