In Documentation/kbuild/kbuild.txt, we have the following environment
variables:

KCFLAGS
--------------------------------------------------
Additional options to the C compiler (for built-in and modules).

CFLAGS_KERNEL
--------------------------------------------------
Additional options for $(CC) when used to compile
code that is compiled as built-in.

CFLAGS_MODULE
--------------------------------------------------
Additional module specific options to use for $(CC).

LDFLAGS_MODULE
--------------------------------------------------
Additional options used for $(LD) when linking modules.

LDFLAGS_vmlinux
--------------------------------------------------
Additional options passed to final link of vmlinux.

So instead of

HOST_CFLAGS
HOST_LDFLAGS

maybe it would be more consistent to call them

CFLAGS_HOST
LDFLAGS_HOST

?

Also, the new environment variables should be documented in the above
file.
