The .s.o suffix rules in bsd.lib.mk are deliberately stripping all
but the [-BID] options out of CFLAGS.  This is causing problems for
the BTX-specific startup code in /sys/boot/i386/btx/lib.  (The -elf
override is never seen.)

Any thoughts on whether this is a correctable lib.mk problem, or just
something BTX should find another way around?
