apologies if this is really basic stuff, but what is the rationale
for the separation into scripts/Makefile.build and
scripts/Makefile.lib?

  at first glance, i would have thought that the latter focused on
building libraries, but it's included directly by the former, and it
contains the critical content for backward compatibility:

# Backward compatibility
asflags-y  += $(EXTRA_AFLAGS)
ccflags-y  += $(EXTRA_CFLAGS)
cppflags-y += $(EXTRA_CPPFLAGS)
ldflags-y  += $(EXTRA_LDFLAGS)

  but i would have thought the above was fundamental stuff that
belongs in Makefile.build.  so what's the reasoning behind the way
those makefiles are laid out?  thanks.
