I might be misunderstanding how Kbuild works but
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile may have logic for selecting CROSS_COMPILE,
which can impact the selection of $(CC), so I cannot use cc-option prior
to its inclusion but I need CC_FLAGS_DIALECT to be included before
arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile in the main build so that they can be used
within it, which is only possible after Kconfig has run. This is
probably worth more flushing out in the code or a comment since it is
subtle.

Cheers,
