Building packages with same CFLAGS makes sense for binaries running in
the same system. So for applications it is good.

But here we are talking about firmware or bootloader, which is **not**
running on Ubuntu. It is only compiled there, and then runs on bare
metal, or in an emulator which should emulate bare metal.

Trying to make the argument that everything should be using dpkg-
buildflags would then also extend to any other distro, or release of
Microsoft Windows, running inside an emulator on top of Ubuntu.

I do hope that this steems from some misunderstanding of what iPXE is
and how it is used.

It could be argued that the tools built and then used during the build
process should use modified CFLAGS, but does it really make sense to
care about that for a tool that runs once during the build process and
is then thrown away?
