Thanks.  How does this look?

    Respect CPPFLAGS when generating stdio-lim.h

    The RISC-V port expects that the C compiler provides a handful of
    definitions that determine the ABI to build for, but some users go
    through the glibc build process before there is a suitable cross
    compiler and therefor are compiling with some arbitrary complier.  Since
    we only look at the C preprocessor during the headers build process this
    should be fine as long as users set CPPFLAGS on their own.

    Unfortunately, stdio-lim.h isn't respecting CPPFLAGS and instead uses
    CPPUNDEFS, a variable that isn't standard.  This variable is meant to
    undefine _FORTIFY_SOURCE, and overriding it to also add definitions
    seems ugly.  Instead I think the cleaner fix is to make the stdio-lib.h
    generation process respect CPPFLAGS like the rest of the build process
    does.

    I'm checking via build-many-glibc.py to make sure this builds, but as
    that never sets CPPFLAGS I don't think it'll find any potential issues.

            * Makerules (stdio-lim.h): Use $(CPPFLAGS) instead of
            $(CPPUNDEFS) when invoking $(CC).


I'm having some trouble running build-many-glibcs.py, but that's par for the 
course on my end.

Since CPPFLAGS is always set by our makefiles I don't understand this
comment.

My point is that bulid-many-glibcs.py isn't adding any additional CPPFLAGS, so 
we wouldn't notice anything that might crop up because of how users (who 
may have set some odd CPPFLAGS) build their glibc.

Maybe that's being too paranoid, though?

Users setting CPPFLAGS need to be careful anyway.

OK, makes sense.  I'll figure out what's going on with build-many-glibcs.py.

Thanks!
