It is wrong...
When you specify an variable on the commandline like in this
case you do with EXTRA_KLIBCCFLAGS=... then make will use the value
you assign to the variable rather than the value that is assigned
in the makefile.

So you actually overwrite the variable EXTRA_KLIBCCFLAGS, where you
expected to append to it.

I took a quick look at the kbuild stuff in klibc - and
there does not seem to be any way to pass extra flags on the commandline.

Except that you can say:

make CC="gcc -DDEBUG=1"

But I did not test this.
