external/lxml/ExternalProject_lxml.mk is somewhat special in that it (by 
accident?) uses $$CFLAGS (i.e., whathever the CFLAGS env var is set to 
in the shell run by `make`) instead of $(CFLAGS) (i.e., what configure 
determined and potentially stored in config_host.mk; the value typically 
used in other external/*/ExternalProject_*.mk).  Maybe that is the 
source of your "-flto -fuse-linker-plugin -ffat-lto-objects 
-flto-partition=none" arguments?
