packages using automake should only set AM_CFLAGS, AM_INCLUDES, AM_LDFLAGS

I often do:
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -Wall-sorts-of-warnings"
Is that OK? Note that it only appends stuff the CFLAGS, it does not modify
stuff that is already there.

If a package's configure script doesn't recognize CFLAGS, it is a bug.
Report it as such.
The configure scripts do recognise CFLAGS, however the custom CFLAGS either
replace CFLAGS necessary for the package, or the package uses the same
flags with different parameters, eg -march and -mcpu flags.
