This appears to cover all the C sources, but not quite all the assembly
sources:

I think this addition to KBUILD_CFLAGS needs to be done before the
assignment to KBUILD_AFLAGS.
Also, in some older versions of gcc the -ffile-prefix-map option didn't
affect assembly sources - gas only understands --debug-prefix-map and
gcc did not do the necessary conversion. But this works properly since
at least gcc 12, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
